Manchu Vishnu’s Kannappa FL: Journey of an athiest warrior

Manchu Vishnu’s ambitious project, “Bhakta Kannappa,” received an exciting update on Thursday. To coincide with Manchu Vishnu’s birthday, the film’s first look was unveiled on November 23 at 2:45 am Indian time and 10:15 am New Zealand time.

The first look features Vishnu as Kannappa in a warrior getup, gazing upward at the sky while arrows approach him from one side, capturing a moment of intense action. The picture has the backdrop of a Sivalinga. The released image suggests that the film will be presented on a grand scale, raising expectations among the audience.

Produced by Mohan Babu on a pan-India level under the banners of Ava Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory, the movie is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, known for directing the ‘Mahabharat’ series on StarPlus.

Senior writers Paruchuri, Burra Saimadhav, and Thota Prasad are working on the film. The musical score for the film is composed by Mani Sharma and Stephen Devasi. Notably, 80 percent of the film’s shooting, crafted with a substantial budget and high technical standards, is set to take place in New Zealand.

Mollywood superstar Mohanlal, Kannada superstar Siva Rajkumar, and Tamil actor Sarath Kumar are a part of the film along with Mohan Babu. The casting of Pan India Star Prabhas as Shiva and Nayanthara as Parvati has captured significant interest too.
