The much-awaited movie Kannappa, with Manchu Vishnu playing the lead and Preity Mukhundhan as the heroine, was directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The film, which had created a lot of buzz prior to its release, had a star-studded cast of top actors from all industries, adding to expectations.
When it was released in theaters, the film gained a decent response from the audience, although it was no blockbuster hit. But the journey of the film didn’t stop there—it was released on OTT later on, on Amazon Prime Video, nearly two months after its release in theaters. The post-theatrical release worked like a turning point for the movie. It began to gain much more attention, and its OTT release gave a new wave of excitement among viewers.
The film has since turned into a hit on streaming sites and is trending number 1 in India as of now. It has filled Manchu Vishnu with great joy, as he is clearly very happy with the growing interest in the film. His excitement is indicative of the good reception the film had in its second run.
Kannappa has a good-quality soundtrack by Stephen, complementing the movie’s dramatic and emotional sequences. The film also has great performances from a host of good actors like superstar Prabhas, Bollywood icon Akshay Kumar, Malayalam icon Mohan Lal, among others.
The support of such a strong producer and cast along with a solid story certainly makes Kannappa a noteworthy Indian film.
