‘Amaran’ is a new movie that released this Diwali on October 31, 2024, and stars Sivakarthikeyan and Pallavi. The movie, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, tells the love story of late Major Mukund Varadharajan (Sivakarthikeyan) and Indhu (Pallavi). The movie serves to honour Major Mukund Varadharajan’s selfless sacrifice through his wife Indhu Rebecca Varghese’s spirit. The movie was produced by Kamal Haasan, R. Mahendran, and Sony Pictures International Productions. Meanwhile, Stefan Ritcher and director Rajkumar Periasamy wrote the screenplay for ‘Amaran’. Notably, the movie ‘Amaran’ draws inspiration from Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh’s book ‘India’s Most Fearless’.

Major Mukund Varadharajan bio

Late Major Mukund Varadharajan was an Indian army officer who served in the Rajput Regiment. Prior to joining the Rajput Regiment as a Lieutenant in 2006, Varadharajan graduated from the Officers Training Academy. Just two years later, in 2008, he became a captain and served with the United Nations Mission in Lebanon. He also served briefly at Madhya Pradesh’s Infantry School.

By 2012, he eventually got promoted to the post of Major and led the 44th Battalion of Rashtriya Rifles in Jammu & Kashmir’s Shopian district. Back in 2014, Mukund led an anti-terror operation that took place in South Kashmir. During the operations, Major Mukund and his team faced intense gunfire, and he successfully neutralised two Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists. He also managed to neutralize their commander but sustained several injuries in the process.

Over the years, Indhu has showcased her bravery over her husband’s ultimate sacrifice. While receiving the Ashok Chakra in her husband’s stead, she stated the following on national television:
