24 Frames Factory Unveils Behind-the-Scenes Glimpse of Kannappa, a Pan-Indian Mythological Epic

24 Frames Factory has released an exclusive behind-the-scenes video offering a rare glimpse into the making of Kannappa, a grand Telugu fantasy film inspired by the revered Hindu legend of the devoted Shiva follower. The 60.44-second clip showcases various facets of production—from intricate set construction and elaborate costume fittings to moments of directorial insight under the guidance of director Mukesh Kumar Singh. The footage highlights the immense collaborative effort involved in bringing an ancient tale to life through modern cinematic storytelling.

 

Produced by veteran actor and filmmaker Mohan Babu, Kannappa stars Vishnu Manchu in the titular role and boasts cameo appearances from Indian cinema heavyweights Mohanlal, Prabhas, and Akshay Kumar—who have all reportedly appeared without charging a fee. Their participation underscores the cultural and emotional weight of the project, elevating it to a truly pan-Indian film that aspires to bridge regional and national cinematic landscapes. This alignment of top-tier talent reflects the collective reverence for the Kannappa legend, which has been a passion project in development for nearly ten years.

 

The production is a major endeavor by 24 Frames Factory, co-owned by Vishnu Manchu and his father Mohan Babu, further solidifying their legacy in mythological cinema. The team's dedication to authenticity and scale is evident, not only in the storytelling but also in the film’s technical aspects, including visual effects and set design. The long-standing involvement of an American production company—originally referenced as far back as 2015—also speaks to the film’s global ambition, blending international filmmaking practices with deeply rooted Indian mythos.

 

Scheduled for a worldwide release on June 27th, Kannappa represents a bold step in mythological filmmaking, aiming to resonate with audiences across linguistic and cultural boundaries. With its blend of spiritual narrative, star power, and cinematic spectacle, the film stands as a testament to Indian cinema’s evolving ability to tell ancient stories with modern vision.
