Amaran is inspired by real-life events and chronicles the story of Major Mukund Varadarajan. He was an Indian Army soldier who heroically sacrificed his life in service to the nation. For his valor and selflessness, he was posthumously awarded the Ashoka Chakra. The honor was accepted by his wife Indhu Rebecca Varghese.
