In Mahabharata, there are many inspiring characters. But the cinema industry is more obsessed with Karna, which began with Senior NTR’s film Dana Veera Soora Karna. In this film, it portrays Karna as the best character in Mahabharata by adding lots of fictional elements, but it did not showcase the real Mahabharata. The film influences the people in a big way. In the real Mahabharata, Karna was defeated many times by Arjuna and others, which cinema industry overlooks. Despite this, cinema industry consistently portrays Karna as the greatest warrior in Mahabharata, which is not true.
Now, Nag Ashwin also echoes this sentiment by directly stating that Karna is greater than Arjuna. Furthermore, a triangular film featuring Suriya, on a massive budget, is in production, which will likely continue this trend by portraying Karna as the greatest with added fictional elements.
why the cinema industry is so obsessed with Karna when there is Arjuna, who stands for Dharma, never loses a battle, and defeats all his opponents. Despite this, the cinema industry has not made any film on Arjuna.
