Director Rajkumar took to X and shared the link of veteran officer Amit Dabas's review. He wrote, “I’d say this is the best review that I can receive for Amaran and Id like to wear this as a medal on each member of the cast & crew, the producers and me! Thank you Amit Dabas sir, Special Forces Veteran & Commanding Officer of #MajorMukundVarardarajan”.

In a bit review shared by Amit Dabas on LinkedIn, “It is rare for a story to capture the profound values of duty, honour, and sacrifice that define a life of service. Amaran, a biopic that honours the courage and dedication of Major Mukund Varadarajan, seeks to do just that. The film presents the journey of a soldier who gave his all in the line of duty—a journey that resonates deeply with all who have served and all who understand the weight of commitment to one’s country.”

The biopic is adapted from the book India’s Most Fearless by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh. It seeks to honour not just a soldier but a real-life hero's sacrifices and emotional struggles. Amaran chronicles the journey of Major Mukund and Indhu from their first meeting in college to marriage and beyond.

Mukund Varadarajan was born on April 12, 1983, in Tambaram, Tamil Nadu to a Tamil-speaking Brahmin family. Coming from a family with a strong military tradition from his grandfather and two uncles who served in the armed forces, he felt motivated to follow a similar path. Mukund graduated from Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Mahavidyalaya and obtained a diploma in journalism from Madras Christian College. His desire to serve the country led him to enlist in the army.
