Kannappa: The second teaser for Kannappa has been released, creating a buzz among fans. This epic historical film, starring Vishnu Manchu, is based on the famous Hindu legend of Kannappa, a devout worshiper of Lord Shiva. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by M. Mohan Babu, Kannappa promises an intense cinematic experience.
In the teaser, Vishnu Manchu is seen portraying Thinnadu, a fearless tribal warrior who fights relentlessly against his enemies. As the battle rages on and his soldiers fall one by one, Thinnadu begins to lose his confidence and questions his faith. The plot of Kannappa follows his transformation from a warrior into a devoted Shiva follower over time. In addition to Manchu, Mohanlal appears in a captivating role as Kirata, further elevating the drama.
A highlight of the teaser is the brief yet powerful appearances of Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva and Kajal Aggarwal as Goddess Parvati. However, it is Prabhas, making a grand entrance at the end of the teaser as Rudra, who steals the show, leaving the audience in awe.
Packed with action sequences, including traditional rural bow-and-arrow combat, intense horse-riding stunts, and high-stakes warfare, Kannappa promises to deliver a gripping and thrilling cinematic experience that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
The film also stars a remarkable ensemble cast, including Mohan Babu, R Sarathkumar, Madhoo, Preity Mukhundhan, Aishwariyaa Bhaskaran, Brahmanandam, and Mukesh Rishi, each playing pivotal roles in this intense tale of devotion and transformation.
The teaser for Kannappa was first unveiled at a grand media event, which saw the participation of the cast and crew. At the event, Vishnu Manchu shared his personal connection to the film, stating, “This film goes beyond just being a project for me; it’s a deeply personal journey. I have been visiting all the Jyotirlingas across India, and I have felt a profound spiritual connection to the story of Kannappa. It’s a story of steadfast faith and sacrifice that touches the soul. With icons like Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Prabhas joining us, I feel immense pride. We believe this story, filled with divine power and devotion, should reach every corner of the world. It’s a message that transcends boundaries and speaks to the heart of humanity.”
Akshay Kumar, who also attended the event, expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am truly honored to be part of such an extraordinary journey.”
Kannappa is set to make its global debut on April 25, 2025.
