Vishnu Manchu believes divine intervention cast Akshay Kumar

Manchu feels the casting was more than just his choice: "I truly believe it wasn't me who chose him—it was Lord Shiva."
Alongside Kumar, the movie features Prabhas, Mohanlal, Kajal Agarwal, and Preity Mukundhan. Manchu himself takes on the lead role in this mythological adventure.

Kumar has called this role one of the most empowering experiences of his career.
With its epic visuals and diverse cast, Kannappa is shaping up to be a major release this year.
