Amaran is the title of actor Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming film directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, the makers announced today with a first-look poster and a teaser.

The 90-second teaser shows Sivakarthikeyan playing the late Indian Army officer, Major Mukund Varadarajan, who led the Indian Army’s 44 Rashtriya Rifles Cheetah Company. As the fight against terrorism intensifies, we see the Major readying his men for a risky counterterrorism operation.

Major Mukund was martyred while fighting militants in Shopian, Kashmir, in April 2014. He was posthumously bestowed with the Ashok Chakra, the nation’s highest peacetime gallantry award.

Amaran features Sai Pallavi as the female lead. Details regarding rest of the cast remain unknown at the moment.

With music scored by GV Prakash Kumar, the film has cinematography by CH Sai and editing by Kalaivanan. The film is produced by Raaj Kamal Films International, Sony Pictures Films India, and R Mahendran.

Last seen in Ayalaan, Sivakarthikeyan is set to collaborate with filmmaker AR Murugadoss for his next after Amaran.
