About Kannappa

Vishnu has called Kannappa his dream project for many years now, first talking about it almost a decade ago. The film is based on the lore of a hunter called Thinnadu, who is an atheist but turns into one of Lord Shiva’s greatest bhakts. It is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh.

After the release, Vishnu was talking to the press about the film in Hyderabad, where he claimed that the team had to sacrifice good scenes in the film due to shoddy VFX. “It’s a massive lesson for me, though. It’s such a lesson that I’ll never repeat that mistake again. But a lot of people watching the film didn’t even realise it. The team was happy that no one cared about it,” said Vishnu.

Apart from Vishnu, Kannappa stars Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Preity Mukhundhan, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo.
