Development

[edit]
Amaran is a biography of late Major Mukund Varadarajan, who would be portrayed by Sivakarthikeyan.

After the release of Rangoon in 2017, Rajkumar Periyasamy began working on a new project, which was set to be his second directorial. It was also set to be produced by Kamal Haasan, in his second collaboration with director after the latter previously worked on a reality show, hosted by Haasan. The director, however, changed his mind after he was suggested by Vakil Khan to read one of the chapters from the book series India's Most Fearless by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh, which is about Major Mukund Varadarajan. Khan further suggested him to make a biographical film about the Major, whereas he would secure the rights of the book from Sony Pictures Films India, who would give the rights and fund the venture. After asking to put their venture on hold, Haasan agreed to Rajkumar's request and also requested himself to jointly fund the biography with Sony Pictures Films India.[6][7]

Kirubhakar Purushothaman of News18 gave 4/5 stars and wrote "Rajkumar Periasamy needs a huge salute for making a subtle but incredibly touching ode to a soldier. [..] Amaran doesn’t rely on easy gimmicks; instead, it builds genuine heroic moments, with Sivakarthikeyan delivering a restrained yet powerful performance."[66] Avinash Ramachandran of The Indian Express gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "With wonderful performances by Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, Amaran is a poignant yet powerful tale about Major Mukund Varadarajan's love for India, and his wife Indhu."[67] Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "Amaran is a worthy tribute to the legacy of Major Mukund Varadarajan.

Watch out for the emotional sequences throughout the film."[69] Kusumika Das of Times Now gave 3/5 stars and wrote, "Rajkumar Periasamy’s direction, combined with strong performances by Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, make Amaran a must-watch for those interested in stories of patriotism, love, and sacrifice."[70] Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote "A pacy screenplay, marvellous performances and excellent technical prowess make Amaran a brilliant ode to the resilient families who love their bravehearts."[71] Goutham S of Pinkvilla wrote "Amaran is truly an immortal tale of a soldier whose legacy will pass on as an inspiration for many leaders and soldiers.
