Development

[edit]

Amaran is Prakash's maiden collaboration with both Sivakarthikeyan and Rajkumar. Initially Harris Jayaraj was considered to compose the musical score, before Prakash being chosen.[1][2] Prakash's inclusion was confirmed on May 2023.[3][4] Soon after his inclusion, he started composing the tunes while parallely working on other projects. In June 2024, he revealed that he had almost completed working on the film's music.[5] According to Periasamy, Prakash had composed five songs for the film, with two of them being fast-paced numbers.[6] In late-September, it was revealed that Prakash had further composed two bit tracks after watching the film's final edit.[citation needed]

Marketing and release

[edit]

The music rights were acquired by Saregama.[7] The film's audio launch was held at the Sri Sai Ram Engineering College in Chennai, with the cast and crew in attendance.[8]

Singles

[edit]

In an interaction to fans on X (formerly Twitter), Prakash revealed that an "energetic love song" is set to be released as the first single from the album after production house's approval.[9][10] In late September, the single's title was revealed to be "Hey Minnale" and being Prakash's 700th song he composed.[11] It featured lyrics written by Karthik Netha and sung by Haricharan and Shweta Mohan.[12] It was released on 4 October 2024,[13] and was positively reviewed, with praise for Sivakarthikeyan and Pallavi's chemistry as well as the composition.[14][15]

The second single "Vennilavu Saaral" was sung by Kapil Kapilan and Rakshita Suresh with lyrics written by Yugabharathi.[16] It was released on 17 October.[17] The song "Por Veeran (Azadi)" which was sung and written by Arivu, was released as the third single on 19 October.[18] The fourth single "Uyirey" sung by Nakul Abhyankar and Ramya Bhat with the lyrics of Vivek, was released on 30 October.[19][20]
