Film's premise
'Kannappa' is based on Lord Shiva devotee
Kannappa draws inspiration from the Hindu legend of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva.
According to Telugu360, the film's team has defended their work, with Babu stressing the devotion behind it. He said, "How did the great poet Dhurjati write this with a lot of devotion, and the significance of Srikalahasti is shown in this film."
The filmmakers also emphasized that popular actors of various languages have been part of the film.
Claim
'Kannappa' is a historical narrative, not a mythology
Lead actor Vishnu Manchu shared that Kannappa's journey started in 2014. He added, "In 2015, when I was developing Kannappa, Tanikella Bharani garu completely entrusted it to me. Last year, we began the film's shoot."
"Kannappa is not mythology; Kannappa is our history. Don't believe it to be fiction; it is a story from the second century during the Chola kings's time."
Film's promise
'Kannappa' promises emotional drama with breathtaking visuals
