In mythology, Karnan is said to be the son of the Sun. But Mari Selvaraj again surprises us by stripping Karnan off all these characteristics. In this film, Dhanush is seen wearing a Thalapathi T-shirt with Rajini's face on it. One such film is Mani Ratnam's Thalapathi starring Rajinikanth and Mammootty.
A lot of films have explored the Mahabharata from the Kauravas’ perspective or Karnan's perspective. Karnan is a mythological character who is known for his sacrifices and friendship with Duryodhana. Among other actors, Lal, Rajisha Vijayan and Lakshmipriyaa Chandramouli score in almost every scene they appear. He fits perfectly into the character designed by Mari. His screen presence provides enough swagger to the action sequences while his acting in the other scenes melt your heart. It's impossible to imagine anyone except Dhanush as Karnan. Although there are multiple sub-plots, they're all twined to the bus stop conflict and that's one place where Mari Selvaraj stands out as a writer. What Karnan does to solve this, forms the story. The village Podiyankulam doesn't have a bus stop and buses don't stop there. He is a politically conscious youngster who is impulsive and can seldom control his anger.Ī lot of his actions, or rather reaction towards a lot of things makes his village Podiyankulam prone to being destroyed by both the State (comprising the police and the collector) and also the upper caste people of a neighbouring village. In the climax of Mari Selvaraj's previous film Pariyerum Perumal, Pariyan (Kathir) has a fiery conversation with Jo's father (played by Marimuthu), during which, he says "Yer pudicha kai la naanum vaal pudichavan dhan!" And that's exactly what defines the character of Karnan.
Santhosh Narayanan has composed the music and Theni Eswar has handled the cinematography. It has Dhanush and Rajisha Vijayan playing the lead roles while Lal, Yogi Babu, Lakshmipriyaa Chandramouli and others play crucial supporting roles. Karnan is a socio-political drama, written and directed by Mari Selvaraj, and produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu under the banner, V Creations.
