Amaran, helmed by Rajkumar Periasamy, is bankrolled by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International along with Sony Pictures International Productions.
Amaran draws inspiration from the late Indian Army officer, Major Mukund Varadarajan, who served as a commissioned officer, in the Rajput Regiment of the Indian Army.
Major Mukund Varadarajan was honoured posthumously with the Ashok Chakra for his bravery during a counterterrorism mission in the 44th Rashtriya Rifles Battalion.
