Dhanush's Film Story Set During Gulf War Crisis
'Kara' is set against the backdrop of the 1991 Gulf War between Iraq and America. The story takes place in Ramanathapuram, a coastal region in Tamil Nadu, where residents face a severe fuel shortage after oil depots across the world are destroyed. Karasamy, the protagonist, risks everything to protect the people who trust him and help them survive the worsening crisis.
Apart from Dhanush and Mamitha Baiju, the film features Karunas, K. S. Ravikumar, Jayaram, M. S. Bhaskar, Sreeja Ravi, Prithvi Pandiarajan, and Suraj Venjaramoodu in important roles. The movie marks director Vignesh Raja's second feature after 'Por Thozhil', which starred R. Sarathkumar and Ashok Selvan in lead roles.
