Trade sources indicate that Netflix acquired the OTT rights of Amaran for ₹60 crores from Kamal Haasan's Raj Kamal International, encompassing Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi rights. This is a substantial amount for a Siva Karthikeyan film, but less than other Tamil blockbusters.

Adapting real-life stories is challenging. 'Amaran' is based on the life of Major Mukund Varadarajan, a brave soldier from Tamil Nadu who was martyred in a special operation in Kashmir in 2014 and honored with the Ashoka Chakra.
