‘Amaran’ effect: How a romantic scene is causing trouble for this Chennai student
Soon after the blockbuster movie Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan, hit the theatres on Deepavali, Vaageesan V.V., a city student, found himself flooded with unexpected calls. Some callers, confusingly, believed the number belonged to Indu Rebecca Varghese, the real-life wife of late Major Mukund Varadarajan, on whose life the film is based,” he says. To make matters worse, someone saved Vaageesan’s number as “Vaageesan Indu Rebbbica VV” on Truecaller, a caller identification application, further encouraging strangers to reach out to him. Unable to handle the increasing number of unknown calls and messages, he attempted to reach the film’s director, Rajkumar Periasamy, and protagonist Sivakarthikeyan by sending a message on social media, explaining that the phone number used in the movie was his.
