Recently, the makers of 'Amaran' unveiled the film's trailer. The film showcases Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role as Major Mukund Varadarajan, telling the story of the life of the decorated soldier who led the Indian Army's 44 Rashtriya Rifles Cheetah Company and his noble sacrifice.
Sai Pallavi is also a part of the film, which is released today.

The trailer opens with a powerful line from an officer telling Major Mukund, "You do not choose 44 RR, but 44 RR chooses you," setting the tone for the heroism that is set to unfold. Glimpses of Major Mukund's (Sivakarthikeyan) personal life are revealed, including his family's reaction to his decision to join the army and the love story between him and Indhu (Sai Pallavi).
Action-packed sequences show Major Mukund, portrayed by Sivakarthikeyan in combat, refusing to retreat when his superior asks him to return, responding with, "I'll save every life I can and come back, sir." Indhu's voice resonates with pride as she says, "I am proud of him being an army officer and me being an army wife." In a gripping moment, Sivakarthikeyan's character poignantly declares, "This is the face of the Indian army," showcasing his unwavering resolve.
Sharing the trailer on his social media, Kamal Haasan, one of the producers wrote, "Leaders seldom choose a trodden path. They create one where there is none and blaze a new trail. #MajorMukundVaradarajan of TamilNadu is one such leader. We take pride in regaling his story"
Inspired by the real-life events documented in Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh's book India's Most Fearless, Amaran is a tribute to a true hero. The trailer has been released in multiple languages, with notable figures amplifying its reach: Nani is releasing it in Telugu, Tovino Thomas in Malayalam, Shiva Rajkumar in Kannada, and Aamir Khan in Hindi.
The trailer ends on an emotional note, with Major Mukund's daughter asking Indhu, "You told me appa will come for my birthday, will he come?"
Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and produced by legendary actor Kamal Haasan, alongside R. Mahendran and Sony Pictures International Productions, Amaran tells the heartwarming and inspiring story of Major Mukund Varadharajan and his wife Indhu. The film captures the essence of their journey--love, sacrifice, and the immense personal losses faced during Major Varadharajan's courageous service to the nation. (ANI)
