There is no one who suited mythological roles quite as well as 'Sivaji' Ganesan. His majestic voice, distinctive walk and commanding presence were tailor-made for those roles and he put them to good use as he brought mythological as well as historical characters alive on the silver screen. Karnan is one of these roles and he shines as the abandoned child-turned-king who is forced to fight his own brothers for the sake of his friend.
