The movie Kannappa stars Vishnu Manchu, the son of famous Tollywood actor Mohan Babu. It features a fantastic cast including Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal. Kannappa is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and will be released in several languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and English, on April 25.
Vishnu shared in an interview that they filmed for 90 days in beautiful New Zealand, bringing lots of special equipment from Hyderabad. He picked New Zealand because it remains untouched by humans and looks like paradise. Filming with so many people abroad was a huge challenge, but they managed it well. Vishnu mentioned that they completed the shoot on time, thanks to the incredible support from about 600 crew members from different countries.
The story follows Kannappa Nayannar, a devout follower of Lord Shiva, who is known for his great devotion, even giving his own eyes to the Lord. Vishnu cherished this story from his childhood and wanted to make it grand like the movie Lord of The Rings.
Many actors joined the cast out of respect for Mohan Babu. Vishnu expressed gratitude for their support. He also shared that working with legends like Sarathkumar and Prabhu Deva was a dream come true. Prabhas agreed to be a part of Kannappa, showing his friendship and kindness.
A special note is that all of Mohan Babu’s children are also acting in the movie, making it a three-generation family project! Vishnu feels nervous but hopeful that their hard work will make this film connect with everyone. “It’s all about good storytelling!” he added.
