Of the many movies that ran for months at Shanthi, reference must be made to “Karnan” the movie by BR Panthulu in 1964 based on Mahabaratha warrior. It had Sivaji Ganesan as the eponymous character, leading an ensemble cast consisting of N. T. Rama Rao, Devika, Savithri. The portrayal by Sivaji is much acclaimed.
