Bringing fire to the screen and fury to the battlefield, Team Kannappa has unveiled an adrenaline-charged behind-the-scenes making video from the set of their upcoming mythological action epic. Slated for a global release on June 27th, Kannappa is already creating ripples, and the latest BTS footage only fans the flames of anticipation.
The video offers a thrilling peek into the film’s raw, rooted action, showcasing traditional Indian combat styles and hand-to-hand battle sequences fought with rudimentary weapons like spears, swords, and maces. It also captures intense training sessions, dust-choked war fields, and Vishnu Manchu himself in action mode — not just performing but actively discussing stunt choreography with the crew, tweaking the choreography on set, and ensuring authenticity in every move. Featuring Madhoo, Mukesh Rishi, it’s a rare look at the grit, grind, and glorious madness that goes into mounting a mythic spectacle of this scale.
At the helm of it all is actor-co-writer Vishnu Manchu, who isn’t just the face of the film but the pulse behind its power-packed action. Unknown to many, Vishnu’s roots in action run deep — he trained in martial arts and even worked as a stuntman in Los Angeles before stepping into Indian cinema. A proud member of the Telugu Stunt Union, his action credentials are as legit as they come.
With the film’s release inching closer, dynamic star Vishnu has already flown out and is gearing up for an extensive round of international promotions. He will be meeting fans and unveiling exciting previews in key cities like New Jersey, Dallas, Bay Area, taking the spirit of Kannappa global and giving audiences a glimpse of the mythic experience that awaits.
Vishnu Manchu says, “Kannappa is a dream carved with devotion and built by warriors behind the camera. From our art directors sculpting myth into reality, to our cinematographers capturing every frame like a painting, to our stunt team led by the incredible Kecha — everyone brought heart, skill, and fire to the set every single day. I’m so proud and humbled by the sheer dedication and brilliance of this team. We wanted to create a world that does justice to the legend of Kannappa, and this behind-the-scenes video is just a tiny glimpse of the mythic experience that awaits audiences.”
Releasing on 27th June, Kannappa is a mythological epic that narrates the story of the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva. With a stellar cast and breathtaking visuals, the film promises to leave a lasting impact on audiences worldwide. Vishnu Manchu stars as Kannappa, with powerhouse performances by Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal.
