Pics: Manchu Vishnu kicks off 'Kannappa' with grand pooja ceremony

Manchu Vishnu, a prominent name in the Indian film industry, is set to make a grand comeback with a monumental project titled 'Kannappa.' After a series of films that struggled to create a significant impact at the box office, Vishnu's upcoming venture promises to be a game-changer. The project was officially inaugurated today with a puja ceremony, marking the beginning of what could potentially be a defining chapter in the actor's career.

The film, aptly titled 'Kannappa,' is set to be a spiritual historical masterpiece that delves into the life of 'Bhakta Kannappa,' a legendary devotee of Lord Shiva. This ambitious project is not only promising in terms of its thematic content but also in its scale and budget. The film is being produced by the seasoned veteran of the industry, Mohan Babu, who also happens to be Vishnu's father. With his extensive experience and industry knowledge, Mohan Babu's involvement adds a sense of gravitas to the project.

Mukesh Kumar Singh, the director of the upcoming film, is no stranger to epic storytelling. Having previously directed acclaimed television serials like 'Mahabharata,' 'Dharam Veer,' and 'Meera,' Singh brings a wealth of experience to the table. With a proven track record in handling larger-than-life narratives, Singh is well-equipped to bring the story of 'Bhakta Kannappa' to life on the silver screen.

Joining Vishnu in this epic saga is Nupur Sanon, who has been cast as the female lead. Nupur, the sister of Bollywood star Kriti Sanon, brings her own charisma and talent to the project. With the collaboration of these two promising actors, the chemistry and dynamics between the lead characters are bound to captivate the audience.
The screenplay is being penned by the accomplished writers Burra Sai Madhav and Paruchuri Gopalakrishna.

Adding to the anticipation surrounding 'Kannappa' is the involvement of music maestro Mani Sharma. The team behind 'Kannappa' is gearing up to commence the shooting soon, with plans to release the film early next year.
