Vishnu Manchu Shares Special Moment with Superstar Rajinikanth After Watching ‘Kannappa’

Actor Vishnu Manchu recently took to social media to share an emotional moment with Tamil cinema legend Rajinikanth. After Rajinikanth watched Kannappa, Vishnu posted pictures of the two together, captioning the post with heartfelt words: “Last night, @rajinikanth uncle watched #Kannappa. After the film, he gave me a tight hug. He told me that he loved #Kannappa. I’ve been waiting 22 years as an actor for that hug!!! Today, I feel encouraged. Humbled. Grateful.” The actor expressed his excitement as Kannappa prepares for its release on June 27, 2025, inviting audiences to experience the magic of Lord Shiva on screen.

 

Kannappa is a Telugu mythological film rooted deeply in Indian cultural and spiritual traditions. The movie is inspired by the legendary tale of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva, whose story has fascinated generations. Vishnu Manchu’s journey to bring this epic to life spans over two decades, involving collaboration with director Mukesh Kumar Singh and producer Mohan Babu. The film’s script, originally acquired in 2015 from noted writer Tanikella Bharani, showcases the meticulous effort put into creating an authentic retelling of this timeless legend.

 

The star-studded cast of Kannappa includes not only Vishnu Manchu but also industry veterans such as Mohan Babu, Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, and Kaushal Manda. Adding to its pan-Indian appeal, the film features well-known actors like Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, and more. This ensemble underscores the film’s ambition to transcend regional boundaries and resonate with audiences across India and beyond.

 

Scheduled for release on June 27, 2025, Kannappa promises a blend of devotion, drama, and spectacle. Vishnu Manchu’s heartfelt endorsement from Rajinikanth highlights the rare cross-regional appreciation in Indian cinema and adds to the anticipation surrounding this mythological epic’s arrival in theaters.
