Critically acclaimed Bollywood filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has been working on his dream project titled Karna from the past few years. Tamil top actor Suriya has been approached to play the title role and Suriya has given his nod. Soon speculations said that the film got shelved due to the creative differences between Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Suriya.

In a recent interaction, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra clarified that the film is happening for sure and more updates will be out soon. He also clarified that Suriya is the lead actor in Karna. The film marks the debut of Suriya into Hindi cinema. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is occupied with the pre-production work currently. Suriya is done with the shoot of Kanguva and the film is aimed for November 14th release.
