Veteran actor Mohan Babu, alongside his son Vishnu Manchu, filmmaker Mukesh Kumar Singh, and actor Arpit Ranka, commenced their spiritual pilgrimage by visiting the sacred temples of Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Rishikesh. This journey marks the beginning of their vow to visit all twelve jyotirlingas to seek blessings for their ambitious film *Kannappa*, which stars Vishnu Manchu in the lead role.
The team first visited Kedarnath, one of the twelve revered jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva, set against the awe-inspiring Himalayas. Their pilgrimage continued with prayers at Badrinath and concluded in Rishikesh.
Reflecting on the journey, Vishnu Manchu shared, "Our trip to Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Rishikesh was a deeply personal and humbling experience. My aim is to visit all 12 Jyotirlingas before the release of *Kannappa*, a film dedicated to the greatest devotee of Lord Shiva. With Mahadev's blessings, we are eagerly looking forward to unveiling our epic actioner soon."
Set to deliver a grand cinematic experience, *Kannappa* has already stirred excitement among fans. Drawing inspiration from epic tales like *The Lord of the Rings*, the film promises breathtaking visuals captured by Hollywood cinematographer Sheldon Chau in the striking landscapes of New Zealand. The poster reveals a commanding image of Kannappa, a warrior in an enchanted forest, symbolizing the fusion of contemporary filmmaking with mythic storytelling.
Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, *Kannappa* boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Sharath Kumar. The film follows the story of Bhakta Kannappa, a revered devotee of Lord Shiva. Vishnu Manchu, who portrays Kannappa, describes the film as a profound journey of devotion, valor, and spiritual enlightenment.
