Amaran Controversy: Student Demands Rs 1.1 Cr After Sai Pallavi’s Fans Flood His Phone
Amaran faces legal trouble as a student demands Rs 1.1 crore after his phone number, shown in the movie, led to endless calls from Sai Pallavi’s fans.
Tamil cinema’s latest hit Amaran has taken the box office by storm, winning hearts with its gripping storyline and stellar performances. However, the movie has recently found itself in the midst of a controversy, thanks to an unexpected legal notice from a Chennai-based engineering student.
The Controversy: A Phone Number on the Big Screen
The controversy began when a student named VV Vaageesan sent a legal notice to the filmmakers, claiming damages of Rs 1.1 crore. The issue arose after Amaran showcased a phone number as part of a scene featuring Sai Pallavi and Sivakarthikeyan. In the scene, Sai Pallavi’s character writes a number on a piece of paper and throws it toward Sivakarthikeyan. Unfortunately, the number turned out to be Vaageesan’s personal contact.
After the movie’s release, Vaageesan reportedly received an overwhelming number of calls from Sai Pallavi’s fans, disrupting his life. Despite attempts to resolve the matter by addressing it on social media and tagging the film’s director Rajkumar Periyasamy and lead actor Sivakarthikeyan, no action was taken. Left with no choice, he escalated the issue through legal means.
Amid the controversy, the movie’s core story continues to resonate with audiences. Amaran is based on the true story of Major Mukund Varadarajan, a decorated officer in the Indian Army’s Rajput Regiment. Major Mukund heroically lost his life during a counterterrorism operation in Jammu and Kashmir and was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, India’s highest peacetime gallantry award.
The film brings to life Major Mukund’s courage and sacrifice, weaving an emotional and inspiring narrative that has struck a chord with viewers across Tamil Nadu and beyond.

Star-Studded Cast and Stellar Team
Amaran features a talented ensemble cast, including Sivakarthikeyan, Sai Pallavi, Bhuvan Arora, Rahul Bose, Lallu, Shreekumar, Shyam Mohan, and Shyamaprasad in key roles. Directed by Rajkumar Periasamy and produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International, the film has earned critical acclaim for its powerful performances and technical brilliance.
The music, composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, adds depth to the emotional storytelling, while C.H. Sai’s cinematography beautifully captures the essence of the film. R. Kalaivanan’s editing ensures the movie’s pace remains engaging throughout.
The legal notice has sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some fans empathize with Vaageesan’s situation, others argue that such instances are common in movies and were likely unintentional. The filmmakers have yet to issue an official statement regarding the controversy.
Despite the ongoing legal battle, Amaran continues to be celebrated as a cinematic tribute to a real-life hero. The controversy has undoubtedly brought an unexpected twist to the film’s journey, but it remains a testament to the bravery and legacy of Major Mukund Varadarajan.
As audiences flock to theaters to witness this inspiring story, Amaran serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the Indian Army and the power of cinema to honor their memory. Whether the legal issue affects the film’s future remains to be seen, but for now, Amaran stands tall as a blockbuster in Tamil cinema.
