However, after the movie's resounding success, fans noticed a stark change in the promotional materials. Post-release posters predominantly showcased only siva karthikeyan, sidelining Sai Pallavi's presence. This shift sparked criticism on social media platforms, with netizens accusing the filmmakers of downplaying Sai Pallavi's contribution to the film’s success. Many pointed out that her performance was integral to the movie's emotional depth and appeal, arguing that sidelining her in the promotional campaign was both unfair and reflective of a larger issue of gender inequality in the industry. Fans of sai pallavi have expressed disappointment, feeling that her efforts and talent deserved equal recognition alongside Siva Karthikeyan's.
The controversy has sparked a broader conversation about the treatment of female stars in tamil cinema and their representation in promotional activities. Critics argue that such practices reinforce the notion that female leads are secondary to male stars, even in films where their roles are equally impactful. This incident serves as a reminder of the need for a more inclusive approach to celebrating success, ensuring that all contributors, regardless of gender, are given due recognition. While Amaran’s success is a milestone for siva karthikeyan, the handling of its promotions post-release has left a section of fans and critics questioning the fairness of industry practices.
