Makers of Karnan release teaser 

Earlier, we had reported that Vikram-starrer Karnan, helmed by RS Vimal, who is best known for the Malayalam film Ennu Ninte Moideen, would be commencing filming soon. Announcing the same, the makers released a teaser video on Sunday. 

In the teaser video, Vikram appears as Karnan on a battlefield, aiming his arrow with great might amidst the chaos. The video has a grey colour palette and rudimentary cuts, staging, and VFX. Although the teaser doesn't excel in terms of its visuals, the determination on Vikram's face is evident.

Here is the teaser 

Vimal has been working on a film based on the mythological figure Karnan for several years now. Though the film was first announced with Prithviraj Sukumaran, he opted out and was later replaced by Tamil actor Vikram. The team commenced shooting in February 2019 by filming the Kurukshetra battle sequence.

The following year, on Vikram's birthday, the makers had also released a glimpse video. However, there haven't been any updates about the project ever since, leading to rumours that it has been dropped. Dismissing all the talks, director RS Vimal has released a photo of Vikram in the Karnan look on social media. He also clarified that the project is very much on and will start rolling soon.

Meanwhile, Vikram's Dhruva Natchathiram, after years of uncertainty, is finally gearing up for release. The Gautham Menon directorial is slated to hit screens on November 24. The actor also has Thangalaan, directed by Pa Ranjith, coming up.
