Karnan is directed by Mari Selvaraj, while the film is produced by Kalaippuli S Thanu. The music is composed by Santhosh Narayanan.
Earlier during an interaction with Vikatan, when Mari was asked about Karnan, he had said, "Karnan is a fictional film based on stories I have heard in my life. But unlike Pariyerum Perumal, here my protagonist doesn’t shy away from injustice because his upbringing is different. Karnan was supposed to be my first film, but director Ram sir told me that I have to prove myself first to narrate this script to a big star. After Pariyerum Perumal, I got a call from Dhanush sir, and Karnan happened."
The film is touted to be a period drama.
