Vishnu Manchu recently was seen speaking to his fans, ahead of the release of the highly-anticipated film Kannappa, which has garnered attention for its starry cameos from superstars like Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Prabhas, Mohanlal, among others. In a heartwarming revelation, actor Vishnu Manchu confirmed during this recent #AskVishnu session that Telugu superstar Prabhas, who plays the role of Rudra in the much-anticipated film, acted for free. A fan asked Vishnu if the rumors were true, and he confirmed, shedding light on the actor’s generous gesture.

Kannappa: Prabhas did not charge for his role as Rudra, confirms Vishnu Manchu

Prabhas, known for his strong friendships and respect within the industry, didn't hesitate to support the film, especially considering his close relationship with Vishnu's father, Dr.M. Mohan Babu, who is also the film's producer. Despite being one of the most sought-after superstars in Indian cinema, Prabhas has always shown immense humility and loyalty to those close to him. “Prabhas garu free ga act chesaru anta nijamena (Did Prabhas sir act for free? Is that true?)", asked the fan, to which Vishnu Manchu responded with a “Yes”.

Vishnu also shared that Prabhas took only a few seconds to accept the role and was deeply impressed with the film's rushes, calling it an experience he loved immensely. The first look of Prabhas as Rudra has already created a buzz online, and fans are eagerly awaiting his powerful presence in the film.

In another note, a curious user asked a series of questions which included, “How long it took for prabhas to accept this role? What was the first reaction when he saw the rushes of the movie? Also, are you bringing him for the pre-release event? @iVishnuManchu #AskVishnu.” Responding to the same, Vishnu shared, “It took him a few seconds to accept… He loved it immensely… #AskVishnu”. ‘Darling’ fans of the superstar were thrilled to see the kind of love and appreciation that followed after Manchu’s revelation about the actor’s gesture.

Meanwhile, coming to the film that brought these two actors together, Kannappa promises to be a visual spectacle, that aims at blending together mythology, cutting-edge storytelling, and unforgettable performances. Revolving around the story of an ardent Lord Shiva devotee, the movie is slated for a grand worldwide release on April 25, 2025 in multiple languages.
