Apart from Vishnu, Prabhas, Akshay and Kajjal, the movie also stars Mohan Babu, R Sarathkumar, Madhoo, Preity Mukhundhan, Aishwariyaa Bhaskaran, Brahmanandam, and Mukesh Rishi in pivotal roles.
At the event, Vishnu Manchu said, “This film is not just a project for me; it’s a personal journey. I am currently visiting all the Jyotirlingas across India, and I’ve felt a deep, spiritual bond with the story of Kannappa. It’s a tale of unwavering faith and sacrifice that touches the soul. Having icons like Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Prabhas join us on this journey gives me immense pride, because we believe this story, filled with devotion and divine power, should reach every person across the world. It’s a message that transcends borders and speaks to the heart of humanity.”
Akshay Kumar was also present at the event. He noted that he was “honoured to be a part of this incredible journey.” Director Mukesh Kumar Singh had said, “Kannappa is more than just a story; it is a tribute to faith, devotion, and the power of transformation. Every frame has been meticulously crafted to bring this legendary tale to life in a way that resonates with modern audiences while staying true to its roots. We are excited for the world to experience the grandeur of Kannappa.”
The movie is scheduled to hit the theatres on April 25, 2025.
