Guntur, June 7 – The highly anticipated mythological epic ‘Kannappa’, starring Vishnu Manchu, is set to hit theatres worldwide on June 27, 2025. A lavish pre-release event took place in Guntur, marking a major milestone in the promotional campaign for the film.
Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by Dr. M. Mohan Babu under Ava Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory, Kannappa boasts an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Mohanlal, Preity Mukundhan, Kajal Aggarwal, Sarath Kumar, Brahmanandam, and more.
A Divine Journey of Devotion and Cinema
Vishnu Manchu, who also plays the titular role, shared an emotional connection to the project:
“This isn’t just a film—it’s a calling. I believe Lord Shiva chose me to retell Kannappa’s story after nearly five decades. We’ve nurtured this film like our own child for several years.”
He also expressed gratitude to his father, Dr. Mohan Babu, calling him “God” in his life. Vishnu recalled how actor Prabhas, a global star, accepted his role in Kannappa out of love and respect for Mohan Babu, not for any personal gain.
“That’s what makes Prabhas special—not just his stardom, but his character.”
A Star-Studded Cast and Crew Blessed by Destiny
The film’s production spans over 7–8 years of meticulous planning and heartfelt dedication. Speaking at the event, Dr. Mohan Babu reflected on the spiritual and emotional roots of the movie:
“Kannappa is a divine blessing. Every actor—Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Sarath Kumar, Prabhudeva—came on board by Lord Shiva’s will.”
He also praised Prabhas, calling him not just a pan-India star but a global icon with unmatched humility and warmth.
“Our bond goes beyond cinema. He’s family. I’m eternally grateful.”
