Good news for ‘Amaran’ fans! The Tamil biographical drama, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi, will soon be making its digital debut. If you missed this emotional period romance in theaters, here’s your chance to catch it on OTT.
The blockbuster will arrive on Netflix on December 5. The streaming giant, holding the post-theatrical streaming rights for this biographical film, has updated its catalog with the new OTT release date. In addition to the Tamil version, other language versions will also be available for streaming from that date.
The film enjoyed a theatrical window of five weeks. Although ‘Amaran’ was initially slated for an earlier OTT release, its digital debut was delayed by a week due to its remarkable box office performance. The failure of ‘Kanguva’ also contributed to ‘Amaran’s’ extended theatrical run.
Directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy, ‘Amaran’ is inspired by the story of Major Mukund Varadarajan, featured in the book India’s Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Military Heroes by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh. The film follows the journey of Major Mukund and his wife, Indu Rebecca Varghese (portrayed by Sai Pallavi), culminating in his tragic death during a terrorist attack in Kashmir. ‘Amaran’ continues to perform strongly in theaters, having grossed an impressive Rs 320 crore so far.
On Wednesday, November 27, Sivakarthikeyan was honored by the esteemed Officers Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai for his portrayal of a real-life hero. This recognition coincides with the ongoing success of ‘Amaran,’ which has grossed over Rs 320 crore globally at the box office.
With more than 4.5 million tickets sold, ‘Amaran’ has become Sivakarthikeyan’s highest-grossing film and is now one of the top Tamil films of 2024. The film not only celebrates the life of a true hero but also marks a significant achievement in Sivakarthikeyan’s career.
