After months of anticipation, Kannappa finally hit theatres this Friday and has taken the box office by storm, marking the biggest opening of Manchu Vishnu’s career. The film, which blends mythology with spectacle, has resonated strongly with audiences, surprising even trade analysts with its robust initial collections.
The film’s devotional theme, lavish production values, and the presence of pan-India stars like Mohanlal, Prabhas, and Akshay Kumar have all contributed to its strong reception. Riding on this momentum, the team hosted a press meet in Hyderabad to celebrate the film’s successful debut.
A visibly emotional Manchu Vishnu addressed the media, expressing heartfelt gratitude to the audience and industry well-wishers. Though his remarks were brief, he promised a grander celebration at the upcoming success meet. “I’m overwhelmed by the love Kannappa has received. This Friday belongs to me,” he stated, signaling a new chapter in his career.
As discussions turned to the future, Vishnu was asked about the possibility of a sequel. While he reiterated that Kannappa was always intended as a standalone story, he revealed an intriguing behind-the-scenes conversation. A renowned filmmaker from the current generation suggested the idea of a Kannappa prequel — exploring the early life of Thinnadu, the man who would become the legendary devotee Kannappa. Vishnu admitted to laughing off the idea at first, but confessed he is now open to it, should a powerful script come his way.
He also spoke candidly about the impact of the film’s star-studded cast, especially Prabhas. “There’s no ego in admitting it — Prabhas’ presence gave Kannappa an incredible boost,” he said, acknowledging the draw that the pan-India star brings to any project.
For Manchu Vishnu, Kannappa represents more than just commercial success. It’s a personal and professional turning point — a reaffirmation of his creative vision and a possible prelude to more passion-driven cinema in the future. Whether or not a prequel materializes, Kannappa has already carved its place in Telugu cinema history and reaffirmed the power of devotional storytelling on a grand scale.
