'Amaran' featuring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role was released during Diwali, and the film transformed into a huge hit. In the film, a phone number displayed in a scene believed to be Sai Pallavi’s, mistakenly belonged to college student Vaageesan from Chennai. This led to a surge of unsolicited calls from people trying to contact the actress. Despite his complaints, the film's makers haven't responded, and it prompted Vaageesan to file a legal petition demanding Rs 1.1 crore in compensation. Following Vaageesan's legal action the respective scene from 'Amaran' has been chopped from the film now, and the film is streaming on a digital platform excluding the controversy.
