In a record-breaking surge, Siva Karthikeyan and Sai Pallavi’s latest release *Amaran* set the 2024 Tamil cinema industry ablaze, surpassing *GOAT*—Vijay’s iconic record for the highest number of tickets sold in a single hour on BookMyShow. This biographical drama, a Diwali treat for audiences, achieved an impressive feat, establishing itself as the top ticket-seller within an hour of its release, a remarkable accomplishment in a highly competitive Diwali box office race.
While other Diwali releases like *Lucky Bhaskar* and *Ka* received decent feedback, *Amaran* stood out, captivating audiences in both Tamil Nadu and the Telugu states. The movie not only crossed the records set by Vijay’s *GOAT* but also outshined other recent blockbusters like *Vettaiyan* and *Indian 2*. The impressive sales mark highlights Siva Karthikeyan’s rising influence, positioning him among the heavyweights of Tamil cinema, joining the ranks of Vijay and even Rajinikanth.
The record-breaking performance of *Amaran* marks a turning point for Siva Karthikeyan, who has long been considered a dependable actor but now moves firmly into the big leagues of Tamil cinema. Known for being a “minimum guarantee” actor, Siva’s transition to a record-shattering star reflects his growing popularity and appeal across diverse audiences. His ability to surpass industry legends like Vijay underscores his rapid ascent in the industry.
Adding a touch of humor to *Amaran*’s success, some fans joked that Siva Karthikeyan’s charm was so powerful that even BookMyShow’s servers couldn’t keep up with his newfound superstardom. With a stellar response from audiences and record-breaking numbers, *Amaran* is not just a tribute to Major Mukund Varadarajan but also to Siva Karthikeyan’s soaring career trajectory, which is making waves across the South Indian film industry.
