The release plan for Dhanush's upcoming movie Karnan was unveiled today along with a short teaser that has a glimpse of Dhanush from the film. The movie is all set for a theatrical release in the month of April 2021. Dhanush plays the titular role in the movie and his character had been equated to Karnan from Mahabharata who gave away all his worldly belongings.
Karnan is based on caste riot that took place in Kodiyankulam in 1991 and is produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu's V Creations. Maari Selvaraj had previously said that the Karnan Dhanush has nothing to offer as he comes from a humble background but will be seen fighting for his rights in the movie.
