Karnan
is
undoubtedly
one
of
Dhanush's
highly
awaited
films.
After
intriguing
the
audience
with
the
teaser,
the
film
is
all
set
to
hit
the
cinemas
on
April
9.
Written
and
directed
by
Mari
Selvaraj,
the
rural
drama
has
already
made
headlines
much
before
hitting
the
big
screen
for
its
pre-release
business.
Interestingly,
the
Dhanush-starrer
has
done
an
excellent
business
with
the
film
garnering
Rs
26
crore
for
its
Tamil
Nadu
theatrical
rights.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
deal
has
also
become
the
highest
in
Dhanush's
career.
His
2019
period
action
film
Asuran
was
the
last
film
to
do
a
massive
business
with
a
Rs
25
crore
share
in
Tamil
Nadu.
Though

business

yet
to
be
confirmed
by

deals
with
the
distributors
of
respective
states.
