Story is taken from the great epic mahabharatham . Queen Kunti abandons her first-born, who is then adopted by a charioteer Adhirathan and named Karnan by a sage. Karnan is known for his generosity and never says 'No' to anyone asking him for something. When he is insulted at a public archery competition for being from a lowly class, Duryodhana(Asokan) makes him king of one of his lands and embraces him as a friend. He is eternally grateful for this and chooses to fight on Duryodhana's side against the Pandavas even when Kunti reveals herself to be his mother and he realises that the Pandavas are his brothers.
