The trailer for the upcoming Telugu mythological drama Kannappa has been released, offering a glimpse into the epic tale of a fierce warrior’s transformation into a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. Starring Vishnu Manchu in the titular role, the film portrays the journey of Thinnadu, a tribal leader who becomes one of the 63 Nayanmars, revered as Lord Shiva’s greatest devotees.

Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by M. Mohan Babu, Kannappa features an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal, and others in pivotal roles. The trailer showcases high-octane battle sequences, intense horse-riding scenes, and a rich visual narrative that highlights the protagonist’s unwavering faith and sacrifices.

The film’s production values, including stunning visuals and intricate set designs, have been praised for their grandeur and authenticity. However, some viewers have expressed concerns over certain aspects, such as the portrayal of characters and the use of AI dubbing for non-Telugu-speaking actors.

Kannappa is slated for theatrical release on June 27, 2025, and is expected to be a significant addition to the genre of mythological cinema.
