Karoline Hoeppner, Head of Licensing and Distribution, Bongo, said, "After Rajnikanth's action loaded Kabali, we are now launching Dhanush's Karnan. The title translates as Bidrohi and is about a simple man who fights injustice and becomes the hero of his village.”
Hoeppner also said, “We all love movies where the good wins against bad, or the small wins over the big. The movie setting is a village with upper- and lower-class families - A place where oppression and privilege intersect. Please watch "Karnan-Bidrohi" on Bongo to see how the villagers boldly stand up against the decision making by the establishment when it all boils down."
