Certain films come once in a lifetime, and for Vishnu Manchu, Kannappa is one of them. While most top stars hesitated to take up this ambitious venture, Vishnu jumped at the opportunity, turning it into a humongous pan-India cinematic extravaganza. This devotional action drama, conceptualized on a grand scale, is already creating ripples throughout the industry.
What adds to the excitement of Kannappa is its star-studded cast, with Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar playing prominent roles. Releasing in theaters across the globe on April 25, the movie is not only going to offer an enriching emotional experience, but also a visually resplendent epic that will have action, faith, and overstated storytelling galore.
There were recent speculations about the screen time of these iconic actors. But Vishnu Manchu explained that their characters are much more important than speculated. Unlike rumors of them showing up for a few minutes, he assured that Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar have pivotal roles that propel the story ahead. Their characters are intricately integrated into the hero’s path, so they are integral to the core of the film.
The buzz over Kannappa has only increased with the film’s offbeat story, breathtaking visuals, and mammoth scale. Interestingly, Vishnu also stated that these stars play a bigger role in the movie than his father, Mohan Babu, again reinforcing their importance in the narrative.
Based on mythology, faith, and action on a large scale, Kannappa is the inspiring story of a loyal disciple of Lord Shiva. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the movie features Preethi Mukundan as the heroine. With industry-leading production values, a cast of renowned actors, and a theme that appeals to everyone, Kannappa is set to be one of the most anticipated cinematic experiences of the year.
Scheduled for a multi-language release, this pan-India saga is made to resonate with people across cultures, giving them an engaging experience that’s a mix of spirituality and adrenaline-fueled action. With April 25 looming, hype only seems to be increasing, with Kannappa set to rewrite Indian cinema on a monumental level.
