Kannappa is Shaping Up Beautifully with Lord Shiva’s Blessings

 Kannappa is Shaping Up Beautifully with Lord Shiva’s Blessings: Vishnu Manchu at Bangalore Press Meet

Dynamic actor Vishnu Manchu’s ambitious dream project, Kannappa, is being crafted on an epic scale. Produced by Mohan Babu under the banners of Ava Entertainments and 24 Frames Factory, the film is helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The movie is slated for a grand release on April 25, 2025. The first look posters and teaser have already captivated audiences, and promotional activities commenced in Bangalore on Friday.

Speaking at the event, Vishnu Manchu expressed,  

“It is a privilege to start the Kannappa promotions in Karnataka. Dr. Raj Kumar Garu first portrayed Kannappa in Kannada, followed by Shiv Raj Kumar Garu. In Telugu, the legendary Krishnam Raju Garu played this role under the direction of Bapu Ramana. Now, we are retelling Kannappa’s story for the contemporary audience.  

Who was Kannappa? What were his contributions? This film aims to narrate his story in a compelling way. Director Mukesh Kumar Singh, a legend in television who beautifully helmed the Mahabharat series, is bringing his expertise to this project.  

We have collaborated with teams from India, New Zealand, and international technicians to create this magnum opus. Sarath Kumar Garu’s punctuality and dedication were inspiring, and Prabhu Deva Anna joined us wholeheartedly. From the very beginning, this project has felt blessed by Lord Shiva.  

When I first conceived the idea, I reached out to Rockline Venkatesh Garu, who encouraged me to proceed, assuring me it would be amazing. Even before RRR, Rockline Venkatesh Garu saw the potential in this film and motivated me. With Lord Shiva's blessings, we are all set to bring this special story to audiences on April 25th.”

Choreographer and actor Prabhu Deva added,  

“Director Mukesh Kumar Singh, who created Mahabharat, has become a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, visiting temples regularly. He has crafted Kannappa beautifully. Mohan Babu Garu and Vishnu have put in immense effort for this project.  

The film boasts stellar performances by great artists like Mohan Lal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Sarath Kumar Garu. The lead actress, Preity Mukundhan, has delivered a wonderful performance. The American cinematographer has ensured stunning visuals, while Stephen’s music adds brilliance. I choreographed three songs, and I am confident this movie will be a massive success.”

Actor Sarath Kumar shared,  

“We all know Kannappa as a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, but this film explores lesser-known facets of his life. Shot in beautiful locales like New Zealand, the film features an ensemble cast, including Mohan Lal, Mohan Babu, Prabhas, and Akshay Kumar.  

The story delves into the concepts of atheism and theism, challenging perspectives. Audiences will understand these themes as the narrative unfolds.”

Director Mukesh Kumar Singh remarked,  

“Recreating the iconic character of Kannappa, first immortalized by Raj Kumar Garu, was a daunting yet fulfilling challenge. I’ve had the privilege of working with phenomenal actors who gave their best. Vishnu and Mohan Babu Garu’s unwavering dedication has made this film a visual spectacle for audiences.”

Producer and distributor Rockline Venkatesh concluded,  

“It’s an honor to release Kannappa in Karnataka. Mohan Babu Garu and Vishnu have made an extraordinary film featuring some of the biggest names, including Akshay Kumar, Mohan Lal, Prabhas, and Sarath Kumar.  

In today’s times, marketing a film is more challenging than making it, but I sincerely hope Kannappa resonates with audiences and becomes a monumental success.”

With an incredible ensemble cast, breathtaking visuals, and a story rooted in devotion and mythology, Kannappa promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience.
