Kannappa teaser

The teaser tells the story of attempts to steal the Vayulingam. However, one person—Kannappa—protects the idol from theft. We’re told that he is capable of killing strong men without help. The teaser then intersperses glimpses of the star cast with scenes of Kannappa fighting for his duty. Eagle-eyed fans spotted Mohan Babu, Sarathkumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, and Prabhas.

Sharing the teaser in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi, Vishnu wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Here’s presenting the ‘Kannappa’ teaser! After years of dedication and hard work, this story has come to life. I'm thrilled to share it with you and can't wait for you to experience this epic actioner!”

Fans spot star cast

One fan shared timelines of who all he spotted in the teaser on YouTube, writing, “1:24 Prabhas️‍, 1:06 Kajal, 0:59 Mohan Lal, 1:13 Akshay Kumar.” On X numerous fans began sharing screenshots of Prabhas, Akshay and Kajal’s eyes, part from Mohanlal’s look.

Given their looks, some even deduced whom they play, with one fan writing, “Lord Shiva - Akshay Kumar, Nandi - Rebel star.”
