Kannappa cast salary: Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal's charges

In a rare move, stars Prabhas and Mohanlal are acting in Kannappa without charging a fee.
Vishnu Manchu, who leads and produces the film, shared that Mohanlal joined as a gesture of respect for his father, veteran actor Mohan Babu.
The movie is set to hit theaters on June 27.

TL;DR

Akshay Kumar charged ₹6cr for his cameo

Kannappa is all about Bhakta Kannappa's spiritual journey, with Vishnu in the lead and Kajal Aggarwal as Goddess Parvati.
While Prabhas plays Rudra and Mohanlal appears as Kirata for free, Akshay Kumar reportedly charged ₹6cr for his cameo as Lord Shiva—showing just how much personal bonds matter on this project.
