Raaj Kamal Films International has struck a celebratory note as Amaran steps into a new chapter—this time on the global stage. The studio unveiled a striking poster announcing that the Tamil biographical war drama has been chosen as the Opening Feature Film in the Indian Panorama section at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI), Goa. Adding to the prestige, the film has also secured a nomination for the coveted Golden Peacock Award, signaling a shift from mass success to international recognition.
Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International, Amaran traces the heroic life of Major Mukund Varadarajan, an Ashoka Chakra awardee whose bravery in a 2014 counter-insurgency operation continues to inspire the nation. The film’s storytelling—rooted in sacrifice, duty, and emotional depth—has clearly resonated beyond its blockbuster ₹350-crore run, now capturing the attention of festival programmers and global cinephiles.
The poster released alongside the announcement paints a moving picture: lead stars Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi appear in a serene, moonlit family moment, framed by the official IFFI laurels. It’s a symbolic blend of the personal and the patriotic—highlighting the emotional core that powered the film’s success. The cascade of tags to actors, technicians, studios, and partners reflects the collaborative force behind Amaran’s journey.
For a film that has already conquered the mainstream audience, this recognition marks a proud leap into the international arena. Amaran now stands poised to represent Tamil cinema at one of India’s most prestigious film festivals—carrying with it the story of a real-life hero whose legacy continues to shine brighter with each milestone.
