Mohan Babu’s talented son, Manchu Vishnu, has faced a string of setbacks with a series of unsuccessful movies over the past decade, including ‘Achari America Yatra,’ ‘Voter,’ ‘Mosagallu,’ and ‘Ginna,’ all encountering disappointing performances at the box office. However, on November 23, 2023, a ray of excitement emerged for his fans.
On the occasion of Manchu Vishnu’s birthday, the eagerly awaited first look of his ambitious project, “Bhakta Kannappa,” was unveiled, offering a glimpse into a potential turnaround in his fortunes.
The captivating first look showcases Vishnu as Kannappa in a warrior’s attire, eyes fixed on the sky while arrows approach him, capturing a moment of intense action. The backdrop features a Sivalinga, hinting at a grand and epic presentation, elevating the anticipation of the audience.
Produced by Mohan Babu on a pan-India scale under Ava Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory, “Bhakta Kannappa” is helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, renowned for directing the ‘Mahabharat’ series on StarPlus.
The film boasts a stellar team of senior writers, including Paruchuri, Burra Saimadhav, and Thota Prasad. Mani Sharma and Stephen Devasi contribute to the musical score, enhancing the cinematic experience. Notably, a substantial 80 percent of the film’s shooting is set to take place in New Zealand, emphasizing its high-budget production and technical standards.
Adding to the film’s allure are renowned actors such as Mollywood superstar Mohanlal, Kannada sensation Siva Rajkumar, Tamil actor Sarath Kumar, and, notably, Pan India Star Prabhas as Shiva and Nayanthara as Parvati.
The announcement has sparked considerable interest and hope, with fans eagerly anticipating a revival in Manchu Vishnu’s career trajectory. As the first rays of success seem to dawn with “Bhakta Kannappa,” there is an optimistic anticipation that this project will mark a significant turning point for the versatile ‘Dhee’ actor.
