Nag Ashwin Defends Kalki 2898 AD Climax, Karna Portrayal, Says, 'I Know What I'm Doing'
Filmmaker Nag Ashwin has responded to criticism over his portrayal of Karna in Kalki 2898 AD, defending the film's climax by citing the Mahabharata. His reply came after a discussion on X (formerly Twitter), where a user claimed the film glorified Karna while overlooking his flaws.
The debate began after the release of Akhil Akkineni's Lenin. An X user praised the film's portrayal of Karna, writing that it was the "perfect representation of Karna on the big screen in recent years." The same post criticised Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD, with the X user saying the filmmaker had "destroyed an entire generation" through the film's climax.
