Dhanush’s Karnan: Makers of Mari Selvaraj directorial change factual error pointed out by Udhayanidhi Stalin
Karnan is based on a real-life incident of Kodiyankulam tragedy with Dhanush and Rajisha Vijayan in the lead roles.
It has been almost a week since the release of Dhanush’s Karnan. While celebrities and fans are heaping praises about the film, it is seeing a steady run at theatres. However, Kollywood actor and politician Udhayanidhi Stalin took to his Twitter space and pointed out that there was an error in the film. He stated that he liked the film and lauded the makers for it and the makers promised to change the portion with the factual error.
He wrote on his Twitter space, “I watched Karnan. The film which speaks for the oppressed people with no exaggeration has to be celebrated. I spoke with Dhanush, Mari Selvaraj and producer Kalaippuli S Thanu and congratulated them on the film. However, I found a factual error in it. The film is based on Kodiyankulam tragedy which happened during the ruling of AIADMK (1995). But in the film, it is narrated as if the incident happened during DMK's ruling (1997). I conveyed the message to the makers and they promised me to change it in a couple of days.”

After Udhayanidhi’s pointing out of the error, the makers changed the portion to "90-galin pirpagudhiyilirundhu," which translates to "In the late 90s". Karnan is directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker Mari Selvaraj. Starring Dhanush and Rajisha Vijayan in the lead roles, Karnan also has 96 famed actress Gauri Kishan and Mollywood actor Lal in key supporting roles. The film earlier ran into trouble after a particular community expressed that a song’s lyrics were offensive. Later, the makers changed the song after which the issue was sorted.
