Vishnu Manchu is leaving no stone unturned for his ambitious devotional action drama, Kannappa. This high-budget entertainer boasts an ensemble cast, featuring Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Kajal Aggarwal in pivotal roles. The star-studded lineup has significantly amplified the film’s anticipation, making it one of the most awaited releases of 2025. Slated for a grand theatrical debut on April 25, 2025, Kannappa promises a visual spectacle with gripping storytelling.
A Glimpse into the Film’s Teaser
Earlier, Vishnu Manchu unveiled the first teaser at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, setting the stage for the film’s grandeur. Now, the recently released second teaser raises the excitement further, offering a glimpse of intense action and drama. It showcases Vishnu’s character battling an enemy clan, delivering a powerful retaliation. Unlike the first teaser, which portrayed him as a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, the latest one introduces him as an atheist, sparking curiosity about his transformation into an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva.
Star-Studded Performances
Vishnu Manchu shines in a fierce warrior avatar, displaying remarkable body language and dialogue delivery. Akshay Kumar, making his second appearance as Lord Shiva after Oh My God 2, looks majestic with a divine presence, nailing the character’s essence with his expressions. Kajal Aggarwal appears as Goddess Parvati, adding to the mythological depth of the film.
However, the highlight of the teaser is Prabhas’ brief yet powerful appearance as a sage, which has left fans eagerly anticipating his role. Preity Mukundhan plays Vishnu’s romantic interest, adding an emotional dimension to the narrative.
Visionary Direction & Grand Production
Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, known for his work on the mythological epic Mahabharat (Star Plus), Kannappa is set to deliver a rich cinematic experience. Adding to the grandeur, veteran actor Mohan Babu not only plays a crucial role but is also bankrolling this ambitious project under 24 Frames Factory.
With a unique blend of devotion, action, and a stellar cast, Kannappa is shaping up to be a massive theatrical experience. Fans can expect an emotionally charged, visually spectacular journey when the film hits the big screens in April 2025.
