Dhanush’s Karnan is inching towards completion in Tirunelveli. The makers have already completed the second schedule of the film and the final leg of the shoot will begin shortly.
The story of Karnan, which is being directed by Pariyerum Perumal filmmaker Mari Selvaraj, is reportedly based on the caste riot of Kodiyankulam, which shocked the southern Tamil Nadu in 1995. The clash between Devendrakula Vellalars and Pallars and the strong police force of 600 men in khaki shook the entire state in 1995 and resulted in bloodshed.
