The man in a complaint alleged the youngster was harassing his daughter in the name of love and that he had also quarreled with him recently over the matter.
Amaran, starring Sivakarthikeyan and Sai Pallavi in the lead role, continues to score big at the box office. The biopic war action movie is doing wonders at the ticket window with a spectacular trend.
The Tamil movie directed by Rajkumar Periasamy is going very strong in its theatrical run. The movie has successfully surpassed the Rs 100 crore mark on its 10th day (2nd Saturday) By grossing around Rs 11 crore. Further, it saw another spike in collections and raked over Rs 13 crore today, marching towards the Rs 125 crore mark at the Kollywood box office. The total cume of Amaran currently stands at Rs 118 crore gross in Tamil Nadu.
With such a strong trend, it has already become the 2nd highest-grossing Tamil movie of 2024 on its home turf, beating Rajinikanth’s Vettaiyan. If the movie manages to stand against the new release, Kanguva, it might end up grossing Rs 150 crore in Tamil Nadu in its full run.
The Sivakarthikeyan starrer movie opened to extremely positive reviews, and that’s what is visible in its everyday hold. The much-appreciated movie is doing very well outside Tamil Nadu. While it is still among the top choices in Telugu and Malayalam states, the movie is also performing well in overseas locations.
For the record, Amaran has already surpassed the Rs 200 crore mark at the worldwide box office in 10 days of release. It is heading for a global finish in the vicinity of Rs 225 crore to Rs 250 crore. However, the lifetime collection of Amaran heavily depends on how it performs against the upcoming Tamil biggie- Kanguva, which is slated to hit the screens on November 14.

It was difficult to imagine the charming Ella Purnell as a psychotic killer until her role in the Starz series Sweetpea. In this show, she portrays Rhiannon Lewis, a girl who is often overlooked by others. Rhiannon manifests her suppressed rage by going on a killing spree against those who have wronged her. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Purnell discussed her approach to playing a serial killer.
“I know actors are never supposed to judge their characters, and I try hard not to judge my character,” she said. The Yellowjackets star explained that she can neither justify murder nor comprehend how people can take someone’s life but she could relate to her character’s need to be seen and heard.
“The feeling of being seen and having an impact. And, what could be more permanent and impactful than ending someone’s life?” was something she used to play her character. Her character’s arc goes from being a wallflower to a murderer to being a sexually and professionally in-charge woman.
The actress elaborated on playing different phases of her character and portraying the gradual transition she went through. “It was very important to me that I was able to beat out very, very subtle shifts,” she said. “Every single scene should feel like one percent of change or one percent of growth. She is developing so quickly in real-time.”
When asked whether she would define Lewis based on her heinous activities or if there was something more to her, Purnell said she “struggles” to pinpoint it. “ I am a very, very empathetic person. I can get inside anyone’s head, and I can justify anything. And it’s hard in a situation like this to do it,” she added. The actress focuses on her character’s emotional motivations to understand her actions.
Whatever happened to Lewis as a child, she carried it through her adulthood and created a victim mentality, which Purnell found flawed. “just because these horrible things have happened to her, it doesn’t justify what she does — it makes you understand why she’s doing it,” she explained.
