The much-anticipated film 'Kannappa', featuring Vishnu Manchu in the lead role, has finally premiered in cinemas. The movie generated significant buzz prior to its release, thanks to its impressive cast and captivating plot. However, despite a decent opening weekend, it appears to be facing challenges in drawing audiences back to theaters.
As reported by Sacnilk, 'Kannappa' garnered approximately Rs 2.50 crore on its fourth day, bringing its total earnings to Rs 25.90 crore.
In 'Kannappa', notable actors include Mohanlal as Kirata, Prabhas portraying Rudra, Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva, and Kajal Aggarwal as Goddess Parvati. Director Mukesh Kumar Singh shared his insights, stating, 'Kannappa transcends mere storytelling; it serves as a homage to faith, devotion, and transformation. Each scene has been carefully designed to resonate with contemporary viewers while honoring its origins. We are thrilled for audiences to witness the magnificence of Kannappa.'
Vishnu Manchu, who has dedicated over ten years to this project, expressed, 'This film holds immense significance for me. It brings forth a historical narrative often regarded as mythology. With the blessings of Lord Shiva, everything has aligned perfectly, from stunning locations to a remarkable cast. The enthusiastic reception we received at Cannes was just the beginning, and I am eager for Indian audiences to experience this epic on the big screen. This endeavor has been a true labor of love, and I am confident that Kannappa will leave a lasting impression.'
The film features a talented ensemble including Vishnu Manchu, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, Preity Mukhundhan, and Madhoo.
