After Superstar Rajinikanth, the actor who is dominating Tamil cinema as the all-area commercial king and box office emperor, in all A, B, and C centers, is none other than Sivakarthikeyan, fondly called as ‘ SK ‘ by his fans. Like Rajinikanth, Sivakarthikeyan has immense support from children and women. Especially among women, he has entered their hearts as a brotherly figure. His father, Das , earned a reputation as an honest officer in the police force. Renowned magazine editor Nakkeeran Gopal has mentioned several times that he was a man of great integrity who never succumbed to any political pressure and has been a high-ranking officer.
Even though Sivakarthikeyan’s father passed away when he was going to college, from his school days, he grew up observing his father’s style as a disciplined and honest officer. His family also wished for Sivakarthikeyan to pursue IPS and become a police officer, which was his desire too. However, destiny led him to become a beloved figure in the film industry. Despite the joy of having earned the overwhelming admiration of South Indian audiences, there is no greater satisfaction for him than the feeling of being the son of his real-life hero, police officer Das . That’s why, whenever he gets an opportunity to play police officer roles, it seems he does so with his father’s memory.
Now, an additional role as a military officer. Will he let go of this opportunity? He has aced it. The film Amaran , inspired by the life story of late Army Major Mukund Varadarajan , is being jointly produced by Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films and Sony Pictures. As he plays the role of an army officer, Sivakarthikeyan underwent intense physical training and has polished his physique to perfection. The recently released trailer shows the dedication with which he worked on this film. The brief moments where he appears with the natural, authentic body language of a military officer highlight his commitment. One can confidently say that he has truly lived as Major Mukund Varadarajan .
Amaran will undoubtedly be a milestone in Sivakarthikeyan’s cinematic journey. While producers are lined up, ready to offer him a ₹50 crore salary for commercial films, he insists on staying within the boundary of acting in stories that resonate with him personally. This multi-talented star says, ‘I too am within that line of living in stories that touch my heart.’ Amaran will come and he will conquer.”
