Kannappa, Manchu Vishnu’s biggest venture so far, has finally released its eagerly awaited trailer, and it is already stirring up a storm. Directed by Mukesh Kumar and produced under Vishnu’s own banner, this mythological epic has been generating huge buzz right from its initial promos, and now the entire trailer only increases the benchmark.
What gives Kannappa an edge is its pan-India cast of stars with legendary names such as Mohan Babu, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, and Prabhas. This cast has raised the interest of audiences nationwide, generating interest among fans of both devotional dramas and mass entertainers.
The trailer follows the uplifting story of an ordinary man who becomes the legendary devotee Kannappa, fusing mythological worships with cinematic grandeur. Rather than artificial sets, the movie has been extensively filmed at extensive natural sites with lush green surroundings, adding to the reality of the narrative.
At the center of the narrative is the battle over a holy Vayu Lingam, with Kannappa struggling to keep it safe from those who seek to destroy its sacredness — paving the way for high-octane action sequences interspersed with rich spiritual emotion.
Akshay Kumar has a heavenly presence as Lord Shiva, while Kajal Aggarwal looks beautiful and celestial as Parvati. Prabhas, who is seen in an authoritative role as Rudra, has no cameo but also the central figure who helps in a big way in Kannappa’s transformation. His chemistry and dramatic scenes with Vishnu are likely to lend strong gravity to the story.
Supporting the gravitas are the strong dialogues of Mohan Babu and Mohanlal’s emotionally charged performance, which complete the star cast and add to the film’s appeal.
By the trailer, it’s clear that Kannappa doesn’t intend to be any ordinary mythological movie. It blends meaty storytelling, spiritual intensity, and large-scale visuals — all indicating an enormous theatrical extravaganza.
The movie is scheduled to have a big release on September 27, and with its devotional subject, star cast, and production values, Kannappa is poised to give a box office hit.
