'Kannappa' Trailer Unveiled: Mohanlal, Mohan Babu, and Vishnu Manchu Share Profound Experiences Ahead of June 27th Release
The highly anticipated mythological drama 'Kannappa,' the dream project of Dynamic Star Vishnu Manchu, celebrated its grand trailer launch event today in Kochi. Produced by M. Mohan Babu under the banners of AVA Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory, and directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the film is set for a grand worldwide release on June 27th. With its captivating teaser, soul-stirring songs, and striking posters already escalating expectations, the trailer has further intensified the buzz around this epic.
At the spectacular launch event, the film's stellar cast and crew shared their insights and experiences:
Mohanlal's Perspective on Pan-India Cinema:
"Right now, pan-India movies are trending. Films are being made without language barriers. 'Kannappa' has turned out really well, and I’m happy to be part of it. Actors and technicians from different languages worked together on this movie," stated the legendary actor. He added, "I thank Mohan Babu and Vishnu for giving me such a powerful role. Kannappa was a great devotee of Lord Shiva, and this story was made beautifully. We shot it amazingly in New Zealand. Mohan Babu’s family is like my own. I pray that Lord Shiva blesses this 'Kannappa' movie. It’s releasing on June 27. I hope it becomes a big success."
Dr. Mohan Babu's Deep Bond and High Praise:
"Mohanlal is like a brother to me. Long ago, I remade his Malayalam film 'Chitram' into Telugu as 'Alludu Garu,' and that helped me rise again as a star. Since then, we’ve been close," revealed Dr. Mohan Babu. He lauded Mohanlal's professionalism, stating, "Mohanlal hasn’t changed one bit over the years, physically or mentally. He’s a simple man with a pure heart. He’s a great actor, and despite his status, he only brings one makeup man with him. He arrives on set before everyone else." Mohan Babu also revealed a touching detail: "For this film, Mohanlal didn’t take a single rupee. I’m forever thankful for the love he showed. I’m happy that Vishnu got to act with him. I never had that chance, and I’m still asking for it. Our 'Kannappa' film is coming on June 27. I request Mohanlal’s fans to make this film collect more than his previous hit, 'Thudarum'."
Vishnu Manchu's Dream Project and Divine Connection:
"There’s nothing more I need to say about 'Kannappa'. You’ve already seen the visuals. This film happened with Lord Shiva’s blessings. It’s releasing on June 27," affirmed Vishnu Manchu. Expressing his reverence for Mohanlal, he said, "I’m a big fan of Mohanlal. He’s like a father figure to me and part of our family. His influence crosses generations. If you watch the trailer, you’ll understand the power of his character. Sharing the screen with Mohanlal is a blessing from my past life. He is so humble." Vishnu also thanked "my friend Prabhas for his great respect for my father" and Aashirvad Cinemas for releasing their film.
Director Mukesh Kumar Singh's Spiritual Journey:
"Many people make movies with love and passion, but we made this film as a prayer to Shiva," stated Director Mukesh Kumar Singh. He highlighted his unique opportunity: "Just as Krishna is called ‘Mohana,’ I had the opportunity to work with two ‘Mohans’ in this film—Mohan Babu Garu and Mohanlal Garu, both outstanding actors. I’ve learned so much from Mohan Babu Garu about acting, passion, dedication, and his deep knowledge of cinema. Mohanlal’s acting speaks for itself. After seeing him off-screen, I want to be like him. Vishnu worked very hard for this movie. Today, the Ayyappa temple is being opened, and we released our trailer on this auspicious day. I hope Ayyappa Swamy’s blessings are with us."
Supporting actors Arpit Ranka and Mukesh Rishi also expressed their gratitude for being part of such a grand project and wished the film immense success. Anthony Perumbavoor, Head of Aashirvad Cinemas, concluded, "A Mohan Babu film is like our own film. We consider it our home production. I believe everyone will love this movie."
The trailer has received an overwhelming response from all corners and is currently trending at the top on YouTube, undeniably setting a high bar for the film's theatrical release.
