Directed by Mari Selvaraj, Karnan is a hard-hitting take of the caste divide and police brutality and sees Dhanush play the messiah of a village that has been let down by the system.  

Karnan, which marked the maiden collaboration between Dhanush and Mari, also stars Lal, Natty, Rajisha Vijayan, Yogi Babu and Lakshmipriyaa Chandramouli.
