Kannappa (Telugu with English Subtitles)

Embrace the Epic Journey: Kannappa at Victory Cinema

In the heart of Bengaluru, Victory Cinema brings you a timeless legend—Kannappa. This gripping Telugu-language mythological epic, now with English subtitles, charts the extraordinary transformation of a fearless hunter into a divine devotee. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and headlined by Vishnu Manchu, the film is a visual spectacle, a stirring spiritual odyssey that resonates across cultures and continents.

Kannappa, releasing June 27, 2025, is more than just a film—it's a grand cinematic reimagining of a revered mythological legend.

Legend Reborn: From A Hunter to a Herald of Faith

At its core lies the transformation of Thinnadu, portrayed with raw intensity by Vishnu Manchu—a fearless tribal hunter who defies conventions, mocking gods, and worship until destiny intervenes. In a dramatic shift, his unwavering courage and unconventional worship turn into pure devotion. He offers water, meat, and ultimately his own eyes at the sacred Srikalahasteeswara Temple, risking everything to prove his faith—not through prayer, but through sacrifice. This metamorphosis carries the weight of millennia—a tale of raw emotion, spiritual depth, and divine revelation.

Stellar Cast & Celestial Cameos

Kannappa boasts a powerhouse cast headlined by Vishnu Manchu, accompanied by stalwarts like Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Brahmaji, and Brahmanandam. But the real allure lies in the special appearances that transcend industries:

Prabhas plays Rudra, exuding both intensity and calm, appearing at a pivotal moment;

Akshay Kumar delivers his Telugu debut as Lord Shiva, marking a major cross‑industry milestone;

Mohanlal portrays Kirata, adding gravitas and wisdom to the saga;

Kajal Aggarwal and Preity Mukhundhan grace the film as Parvati and other key roles.

Adding further charm, three generations of the Manchu family participate in this journey—from Mohan Babu himself to Vishnu, and even his children in cameos—creating a tapestry of familial legacy on screen.

Visual Scope & Production Might

With a soaring budget of over ₹150 crore, Kannappa is sculpted on a Tolkien‑scale visual canvas. Shot largely in the breathtaking backdrops of New Zealand—from Auckland to Rotorua and Christchurch—the film captures nature’s grandeur in every frame.

The runtime of 182 minutes (3 hours 2 minutes) promises an immersive spectacle, giving depth to character arcs, mythic lore, and the spiritual journey of Kannappa.
