Vishnu Manchu’s highly anticipated film Kannappa is generating significant buzz due to its stellar star cast, including Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, and Mohanlal. This ambitious project, produced on a grand scale, recently showcased its teaser at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, receiving an overwhelmingly positive response. The film’s teaser was subsequently launched digitally during an event in Hyderabad.
The teaser introduces a gripping narrative: Kalamukha, the leader of a tribe, orders his men to uproot a Shiva Linga, only for them to be killed by Kannappa (played by Vishnu Manchu), a fervent devotee of Lord Shiva. Kannappa’s powerful entry and his combat against the enemies set the stage for an action-packed film. The teaser hints at an intense conflict but leaves many questions unanswered, such as the reasons behind the tribal war and the nature of Mohan Babu’s character.
Akshay Kumar is revealed to be playing Lord Shiva, while Prabhas appears only briefly in the teaser, adding to the intrigue. Priety Mukundan is cast as the female lead. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, known for his work on the Maha Bharat serial, this fantasy action drama promises to be a visual spectacle.
The film is produced by Mohan Babu under the banners of 24 Frames Factory and AVA Entertainment. The musical score is composed by Mani Sharma and Stephen Devassy, adding another layer of anticipation for the film’s release.
Overall, Kannappa stands out as a major project in the Indian film industry, blending a rich storyline with powerful performances and high-octane action sequences.
