Sivakarthikeyan stars in Amaran, a biographical film about the late Army Major Mukund Varadarajan, alongside Sai Pallavi, directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy. Scheduled for a special Diwali release on October 31, Amaran has sparked rumors about a supposed marriage between Rajkumar and Sai Pallavi, leading her to publicly address the gossip.

Competing with Amaran this Diwali is Jayam Ravi's film Brother, featuring Priyanka Mohan. Despite speculation about Ravi's personal life and a romantic link with Priyanka, neither has confirmed these rumors. 

Both films cater to different audiences—Amaran showcases Sivakarthikeyan as a soldier, while Brother celebrates the bond between siblings. Fans are eagerly anticipating the box office showdown between these two films, especially since both Sivakarthikeyan and Priyanka Mohan are making their first appearances opposite their respective co-stars. This Diwali also marks Jayam Ravi's return to the screen after 15 years.
