'Kannappa' teaser unveils Vishnu Manchu’s fierce transformation and Prabhas’ powerful presence

Vishnu Manchu is going all out for his ambitious devotional action drama, 'Kannappa'. The high-budget entertainer has gained immense attention, thanks to its star-studded cast featuring Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Kajal Aggarwal in key roles. The inclusion of such prominent actors has significantly amplified the film’s hype. Scheduled for a grand theatrical release on April 25, 2025, 'Kannappa' is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated films of the year, promising a mix of devotion, action, and grandeur.
Also, a few months ago, Vishnu Manchu created a buzz by unveiling the film’s first teaser at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, showcasing him as a devout follower of Lord Vishnu. Today (Mar 1), the second teaser has been released, offering a fresh perspective. The new footage presents Vishnu’s character in a completely different light, as an atheist whose world turns upside down following a brutal attack on his clan.

The teaser teases intense action sequences as Vishnu fiercely retaliates, displaying his warrior skills with remarkable screen presence. The transformation of his character from a non-believer to a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva serves as the film’s central theme. The teaser also gives a glimpse of the film’s other pivotal characters. Akshay Kumar, portraying Lord Shiva, looks divine with an impeccable makeover, exuding an aura of power and mystique. Kajal Aggarwal steps into the role of Goddess Parvathi, adding grace to the narrative. However, the real surprise is Prabhas, who makes a striking impact in his brief but powerful appearance as a sage, leaving fans eager for more. Additionally, Preity Mukundhan plays Vishnu Manchu’s romantic interest, further enhancing the film’s emotional depth.
'Kannappa' is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, known for his work on the iconic 'Mahabharat' television series. The legendary Mohan Babu not only plays a crucial role in the film but also serves as the producer. With grand visuals, a gripping storyline, and an ensemble cast, 'Kannappa' is set to be a cinematic spectacle that blends devotion with high-octane action.
