Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Launches the First Song ‘Shiva Shiva Shankara’ from Kannappa
In a historic moment for Indian cinema, Kannappa, one of the most anticipated films of the year, has unveiled its first song, Shiva Shiva Shankara, in a truly divine setting. The song was launched on Monday at the ashram of Pujya Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Bangalore, marking the first time the revered spiritual leader has graced the music release of a film.
The grand launch event was attended by Kannappa's core team, including legendary actorproducer Dr. Mohan Babu, lead actor Vishnu Manchu, director Mukesh Kumar Singh, Kannada distributor Rockline Venkatesh, actress Sumalatha, veteran actress Bharathi Vishnuvardhan, music director Stephen Devassy, actor Arpit Ranka, and lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry. The presence of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Guruji added immense spiritual significance to the occasion, making it a deeply moving experience for devotees of Lord Shiva.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Mohan Babu shared, “Having Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Guruji launch our song is a divine blessing. Kannappa is a film deeply connected to Lord Shiva, and this moment enriches our spiritual journey.”
Shiva Shiva Shankara is a powerful tribute to Lord Shiva, capturing the essence of unwavering faith and devotion. The Telugu version, sung by Vijay Prakash with lyrics by Ramajogayya Sastry, is deeply emotive, while the Hindi version, sung by Javed Ali and penned by Shekhar Astitwa, carries the same divine energy. Stephen Devassy’s composition brings a soulstirring musical experience that transcends language barriers.
The song beautifully portrays the protagonist’s pure, unconditional love for Lord Shiva. In a striking depiction of devotion, he carries water in his mouth to perform the sacred abhishekam (ritualistic bathing) of the Lingam, offers meat as prasad (holy offering), and sees Lord Shiva in every element around him. His journey is one of laughter, tears, and unwavering remembrance of the divine.
Vishnu Manchu delivers a heartfelt performance, embodying the spirit of Kannappa with remarkable depth. The song also features Preity Mukhundhan as his beloved, adding another dimension to the narrative.
Released just in time for Maha Shivaratri, Shiva Shiva Shankara has already resonated deeply with devotees and music lovers alike. Its powerful lyrics and moving composition make it the perfect soundtrack for this auspicious occasion, ensuring its place as a festival favorite.
Kannappa is a grand retelling of the legendary tale of Kannappa, the devoted Shiva Bhakta whose unwavering love for the deity remains an eternal inspiration. The film boasts a stellar cast, with Vishnu Manchu in the titular role, alongside cinematic giants Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal. With breathtaking visuals and an epic narrative, Kannappa is poised to leave a lasting impact on audiences worldwide.
Mark your calendars! Kannappa is set for a spectacular global release on April 25, 2025.
