Suryaputra Karna(English: Son of Sun God Karna) was an Indian mythological television series, which premiered on June 29, 2015 on Sony Entertainment Television (India) and Sony Entertainment Television Asia. The show aired Monday through Friday nights at 8:30 PM. Produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary of Swastik Pictures, the series starred Gautam Rode in the lead role alongwith Saurabh Pandey, Meghan Jadhav, Navi Bhangu, Priya Bathija, Shaleen Bhanot, Kanan Malhotra, Pankhuri Awasthy, Ajay Jayram and Ketan Karande, who star in other pivotal roles. The show covers life journey of the greatest warrior of all time Karna, one of the central characters from the Mahabharata.
Karanvir Bohra, Karan Grover, Karan Tacker and Avinesh Rekhi were approached for playing the lead role of Karna, but Gautam Rode was signed for the eponymous role. In 2015, Gautam Rode won the Best Actor in a Mythology Serial award in Indian Telly Awards for the show. The show was intended to be a finite series of 150 episodes but was extended up to August due to a rise in the ratings.
The story revolves around one of the central characters of Mahabharata and the best archer of Mahabharata, Karna and tells the Mahabharata from his point of view. The show covers life journey of Karna on his way of becoming a great warrior and a great personality. Karna was the King of Anga(present day Bhagalpur and Munger). Karna was one of the greatest warriors, whose martial exploits are recorded in the Mahābhārata and the only warrior believed to be able to defeat Arjuna in battle, an admiration expressed by Lord Krishna and Bhishma within the body of this work. As per the Mahabharata, Karna was the only warrior in that era who conquered the entire world. Karna single-handedly successfully conducted Digvijaya Yatra, conquering all kings in every direction of the world in order to establish Duryodhana as the emperor of the world and to conduct the Vaishnava sacrifice. Karna was equal to 2 Maharatha warriors.
