According to Venu Kunnapilly, Karnan was planned with a budget of 60-70 Crores. The producer also stated that all the reports which suggested that the epic drama is being made with a 300-Crore budget were totally baseless.

Venu also stated that he was adamant that he shouldn't repeat the same mistakes in Maamaankam, the upcoming Mammootty project. Thus, the producer waited till the completion of at least half of the pre-production works, to officially announce the Mammootty starrer.
