Karnan starring Dhanush has become the last hit for the Tamil film industry before the COVID second wave has hit the country. The movie is critically acclaimed along with the commercial success. But the COVID second wave has cut its run. Tamil Nadu is one of the earliest to impose 50% occupancy in theaters. From Monday, the state has ordered the complete closure of the theaters.
With the theatrical run abruptly ending, there are demands all over the social media from fans and movie lovers urging the makers to negotiate with Amazon Prime Video to go for an early OTT release. There were several dates of May as the digital release dates of Karnan in the social media but there is no official announcement yet.
Given the film is a hyped product, an early release will benefit both the makers and the OTT platform. The makers would be able to squeeze in some more monies in the name of an early release. In Karnan, Dhanush plays a fearless village youth, must fight for the rights of the conservative people of his village, due to the torture given by a police officer. The movie is directed by Mari Selvaraj. Dhanush had already announced doing one more film with the director.
