“Amaran is a journey of sacrifice, love for the nation, and heroism. I promise it will be an emotional ride that touches your hearts.”
The film, adapted from the book India’s Most Fearless by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh, is produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI) in collaboration with Sony Pictures International Productions.
DMY Creation’s founder and chairman, Datuk Muhammad Yusoff, expressed his pride in being part of the project, saying, “Amaran tells a story of courage and love for the country. We believe it will resonate deeply with Malaysian audiences.”
He added, “This film not only showcases one man’s bravery but also the heart of a nation. We’re excited to bring this powerful story to local cinemas for Deepavali.”
With a stellar technical team and RKFI’s legendary production, Amaran is expected to be one of the standout releases of the year.
