The highly anticipated Kannappa trailer is finally here, and it’s already making waves on all social media platforms. It is topped by Vishnu Manchu, who is also the writer of the story and screenplay, the mythological action epic boasts star-studded cameos by Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Mohanlal. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the film is being released worldwide on June 27, 2025.
A Star-Studded Mythological Spectacle
Vishnu Manchu is Thinnadu, a gutsy warrior who turns into Bhakta Kannappa, a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva. Akshay Kumar does the divine character of Mahadev (Lord Shiva), while Prabhas adds gravity as Rudra. Mohanlal takes on a grand role as Kirata, making the grandness of the film even greater.
The supporting cast also boasts a strong lineup that includes Kajal Aggarwal, Sarath Kumar, Brahmanandam, Saptagiri, Mukesh Rishi, and others. Directed by veteran actor Mohan Babu (father of Vishnu), the film is among the year’s biggest pan-Indian projects.
Fans React to the Trailer
The trailer has garnered a resounding positive reaction from the fans. One of the users commented, “Khiladi as Mahadev and Rebel Star as Rudra — Unexpected collab,” appreciating the shock of witnessing Akshay Kumar and Prabhas sharing the screen. Another fan commented, “Redemption of Prabhas for Adipurush. BGM, visuals, cast everything is top-notch.”
Audiences appreciated the high-production-value look of the film, the strong background score, and grand visuals, terming it as a “big hit in the making.”
Trailer Launch Delayed As a Gesture of Respect
The trailer launch, which was initially to be launched on June 13 at Indore, was delayed by one day following the Ahmedabad-London flight crash. The directors decided to delay the release as a mark of respect to the victims.
Kannappa promises an edge-of-the-seat story of faith, devotion, and divine bravery woven with cinematic brilliance.
