    Film details

    'Kannappa': A star-studded fantasy drama

    Kannappa, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, features Manchu in the lead role.

    The film's ensemble cast also includes renowned actors such as Mohanlal, Prabhas, and Akshay Kumar.

    This film reportedly marks Kumar's Tollywood debut.

    Meanwhile, the screenplay for Kannappa has been penned by Manchu himself along with Paruchuri Gopala Krishna, Eshwar Reddy, G Nageswara Reddy, and Thota Prasad.

    The film is produced under Babu's banner.

    Storyline

    What is the plot of 'Kannapaa'?

    The plot is said to be about an atheist hunter Kannappa—who became a devotee of Lord Shiva—and plucked out his eyes in devotion.

    The shooting of Kannappa has taken place in New Zealand and Hyderabad so far.

    The film has been envisioned like the popular series Lord of the Rings, said Manchu in a previous interview with Variety.

    While the official release date remains unannounced, the film is expected to hit screens by year-end.
