Karnan,
the
upcoming
Dhanush
starrer
which
is
directed
by
Mari
Selvaraj,
is
one
most-awaited
projects
of
Tamil
cinema
in
2021.
The
shooting
of
Karnan,
which
is
said
to
be
a
rural
drama,
was
recently
wrapped
up.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
the
satellite
rights
of
the
Dhanush
starrer
are
already
sold.
If
the
latest
reports
are
to
be
true,
the
satellite
rights
of
Karnan
has
been
bagged
by
the
Zee
Network
The
rumour
mills
suggest
that
the
satellite
rights
of
the
Dhanush
starrer
have
been
sold
for
a
whopping
amount,
which
is
one
of
the
highest
received
by
a
Dhanush
starrer
so
far.
However,
this
news
is
yet
to
be
officially
confirmed
by
the
makers
of
the
project.
Karnan
is
an
ambitious
project
for
both
Dhanush
and
director
Mari
Selvaraj,
who
are
joining
hands
for
the
first
time
in
their
careers.
After
wrapping
up
the
project,
leading
man
Dhanush
had
thanked
the
director
and
production
banner
V
Creations,
and
the
rest
of
the
cast
and
crew,
with
a
special
Twitter
post.

in
his

If
the
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
Karnan
is
based
on
the
communal
riot
that
took
place
in
Kodiyankulam,
Tamil
Nadu,
in
1991.
Even
though
director
Mari
Selvaraj
and
his
team
have
not

these
reports,

of
the
project
which
was
released
on
Dhanush's
birthday,
had
confirmed
that
the
film
is
not
set
at
the
present.
