The trailer of Kannappa, an upcoming Telugu-language mythological fantasy drama, was officially unveiled this week, offering audiences a glimpse into a story deeply rooted in Indian spiritual lore and historical devotion.

Kannappa Trailer: Vishnu Manchu promises an ambitious mythological drama rooted in devotion

Vishnu Manchu plays the titular role of Kannappa—a character known for his fearless devotion and ultimate sacrifice. The trailer showcases a blend of dramatic storytelling and elaborate visuals, setting the tone for a high-scale period film that emphasizes themes of faith and inner transformation.

Akshay Kumar, marking his Telugu film debut, appears in a brief but impactful portrayal of Lord Shiva. His presence in the trailer has drawn attention as fans are excited to see him in the role of God after the OMG film franchise. Prabhas also makes a special appearance, hinting at a significant role that is likely to influence the central arc. Mohanlal appears in a cameo role, while producer Mohan Babu is seen in a key supporting part.

The trailer focuses on Kannappa’s transformation from a warrior to a spiritually driven figure whose devotion challenges societal and personal boundaries. The visuals also share a sneak peek of the intricately designed sets, extensive VFX, and detailed period costumes that have been recreated to add a layer of authenticity to the mythical era.

The cast further includes R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Brahmanandam, Raghu Babu, Preity Mukhundhan, and Madhoo. Kajal Aggarwal is also set to feature in a cameo appearance. With music by Stephen Devassy, cinematography by Sheldon Chau, and editing by Anthony, the film aims to blend modern cinematic techniques with traditional storytelling.

Kannappa explores themes of belief, sacrifice, and identity through the lens of one of Hinduism’s lesser-known stories. With its ensemble cast and strong mythological foundation, the film adds to the growing trend of Indian cinema revisiting spiritual epics and folk legends with contemporary treatment.
