Sivakarthikeyan’s Amaran has had its OTT release date pushed back by Netflix
Kollywood movie ‘Amaran’, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role, was released on october 31, 2024, and was originally set to arrive on OTT platforms after 28 days. However, according to a report by industry tracker Sreedhar Pillai, the movie’s OTT release has been postponed by Netflix for a week.
Perhaps notably, this is the first time Netflix has decided to delay the OTT release of a tamil film due to its successful run in theaters. Typically, movies are made available for streaming online after the theatrical release window has been fulfilled. However, due to the Sivakarthikeyan starrer’s impressive box office performance and critical success, the platform has decided to extend the theatrical run.
Moreover Amaran starring Sivakarthikeyan and sai pallavi in the lead roles, is based on the valiant real life story of Major Mukund Varadarajan, who sacrificed his life for the nation during an anti-terrorism operation. The movie is adapted from the book India's Most Fearless: True Stories of Modern Military Heroes by Shiv Aroor and rahul Singh, which includes a segment on the martyred soldier. The biographical war film, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, has been receiving critical acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. In addition to Sivakarthikeyan and sai pallavi, the movie also features actors such as bhuvan Arora, rahul Bose, Lallu, and Shreekumar Ganesh in key roles.
