"Kannappa": A Divine Cinematic Journey Blessed by Lord Shiva, Says Vishnu Manchu

Dynamic actor Vishnu Manchu's passion project, Kannappa, is taking shape on an epic scale. Produced by Mohan Babu under the banners of Ava Entertainments and 24 Frames Factory, this highly anticipated film, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, is set to grace theaters on April 25th, 2025. With its captivating first-look posters and teaser already generating significant buzz, the film's promotional campaign recently commenced in Bangalore.

A Timeless Tale Reimagined

Speaking at the Bangalore press meet, Vishnu Manchu shared his excitement and vision for the film: "It's an honor to launch the Kannappa promotions from Karnataka, a land that holds deep reverence for this legendary devotee of Lord Shiva. Rajkumar Garu and Shivaraj Kumar Garu have both portrayed Kannappa in Kannada cinema, while the legendary Krishnam Raju Garu immortalized the role in Telugu cinema under Bapu Ramana's direction. Now, we are reimagining this timeless tale for today's audience. We aim to delve deeper into Kannappa's life, exploring his contributions and shedding light on his extraordinary devotion. Mukesh Kumar Singh, a legend in television known for his masterful direction of the Mahabharat series, brings his expertise to this cinematic endeavor. We assembled a talented team from India and New Zealand, along with international technicians, to bring this vision to life. Sarath Kumar Garu's punctuality and Prabhu Deva Anna's immediate support were invaluable. When I first conceived this project, Rockline Venkatesh encouraged me, assuring me of its potential. It feels as though Lord Shiva himself has blessed this endeavor. Even before the release of RRR, Rockline Venkatesh saw the film and expressed his enthusiasm. With the blessings of Lord Shiva, we are excited to bring Kannappa to audiences on April 25th."

A Collaborative Masterpiece

Prabhu Deva, the renowned choreographer and actor, shared his admiration for the film: "Mukesh Kumar Singh, who directed the iconic Mahabharat series, has become a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. He has poured his heart and soul into crafting a beautiful rendition of Kannappa. Mohan Babu Garu and Vishnu have worked tirelessly on this project. Legendary actors like Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, my dear friend Prabhas, and Sarath Kumar Garu have graced the film with their presence. Preity Mukundhan, the leading lady, has delivered a captivating performance. The American cinematographer has captured stunning visuals. I had the pleasure of choreographing three songs for this film, and Stephen has composed a magnificent soundtrack. I wish Kannappa tremendous success."

Unveiling Untold Facets of Kannappa's Devotion

Veteran actor Sarath Kumar shed light on the film's unique perspective: "While everyone knows Kannappa as a devout follower of Lord Shiva, this film will unveil lesser-known aspects of his life and devotion. We had a wonderful time filming in New Zealand. The film boasts a stellar cast, including legendary actors like Mohanlal, Mohan Babu, Prabhas, and Akshay Kumar. The film explores the complex dynamics between atheists and theists, offering a thought-provoking narrative that will resonate with audiences."

A Visual Spectacle with a Powerful Message

Director Mukesh Kumar Singh shared his experience: "Recreating the iconic character of Kannappa, first portrayed by the legendary Rajkumar Garu, was a daunting task. However, I was fortunate to collaborate with an exceptional cast and crew who delivered their best. Vishnu and Mohan Babu Garu's dedication to this project is truly commendable. Kannappa promises a visual spectacle that will captivate audiences."

A Cinematic Offering to the Audience

Producer and distributor Rockline Venkatesh expressed his enthusiasm: "It's a privilege to release Kannappa in Karnataka. Mohan Babu Garu and Vishnu have crafted a remarkable film. The cast is a constellation of stars, including Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Prabhas, and Sarath Kumar. While marketing a film in today's landscape is challenging, I sincerely hope Kannappa achieves great success and resonates with audiences."

With its grand scale, talented cast, and a captivating narrative, Kannappa is poised to be a cinematic tribute to the legendary devotee, offering a fresh perspective on his unwavering devotion and inspiring audiences with his extraordinary tale.
