Stalin shared high praise for Amaran in a social media post, stating, "I watched Amaran yesterday after accepting the invitation of my friend @ikamalhaasan. It’s wonderful to bring true stories to today’s youth through books and movies! Director @Rajkumar_KP has emotionally captured the bravery and dedication of Tamil Nadu’s army veteran Major Mukund Varadarajan. Congratulations to the crew, including Thambi @Siva_Kartikeyan, @Sai_Pallavi92, and all involved in Amaran for portraying Indu Rebecca Varghese's role so well! A big salute to our soldiers who protect the country - Major Mukund Varadarajan lives on in our memory!"

Sivakarthikeyan believes Major Mukund Varadarajan’s story has the power to inspire young minds. "It’s a very inspiring story and a big tribute," he said. "I never doubted how this film would be received by the public because a man truly lived this life. There’s no question of whether such things can happen. I think every child should watch this. We tell them many superhero stories, but they’re all fictional. Here, a real superhero from Tamil Nadu went to Kashmir and achieved such greatness. I believe this movie will have an impact on children."
