Prithviraj’s Karnan to go on floors in August this year

Prithviraj Sukumaran’s upcoming historical drama Karnan will start rolling in August this year. Director of the movie RS Vimal informed the news exclusively to Onlookers Media.

The director has said that apart from Prithviraj the movie will feature leading stars from all major Indian languages. The movie will be made on a massive scale with a budget of Rs 300 crores. RS Vimal made his debut in 2015 with the blockbuster romantic drama Ennu Ninte Moideen also starring Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead.

The team of Karnan is currently busy with the pre-production works in the Ramoji Rao Film city in Hyderabad. Around 200 technicians from Trivandrum and Hyderabad have been working for the past six months in developing the animation works that will be essential for the shooting purposes.

The animation version will be very useful for the artists, make up men, art director and cinematographer to get an idea about the shooting procedure. This will help in saving time and money during the shooting. Mythical locations like Hasthinapuri and Indrapuri have been recreated by the team using animation. This will help the art department during the shoot to create the sets and other props. Most portions of the movie will be shot in Ramoji Rao Film City and in the banks of Ganga in Varanasi.

Karnan will be made as a multilingual made in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi languages.
Tamil version of the script is written by famous writer Jeyamohan. The movie will not be simply dubbed in other languages, but shoot will happen separately.
