Multilingual Release Set for June 27 With Star Cameos

Kannappa will be available in multiple dubbed versions alongside Telugu, including Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, and English. The film's premise centers on the transformation of an atheist tribal hunter into an ardent devotee of Shiva-a story rooted in folklore and devotional mythology.

Vishnu Manchu plays the titular role, with a supporting cast that includes Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, and Preity Mukhundhan. The film also features high-profile cameo appearances by actors Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, and Kajal Aggarwal, adding star appeal to the ensemble.

Principal photography began in September 2023, with major portions shot in New Zealand. The original score and songs have been composed by Stephen Devassy, with recording and sound mixing handled at Annapurna Studios. Notably, choreographers like Prabhudeva, Brinda, and Ganesh have worked on the film's musical sequences, while action scenes have been designed by Kecha Khamphakdee.

Twenty Four Frames Factory and AVA Entertainment serve as the production houses behind Kannappa. With advance sales in the U.S. showing early momentum, attention now turns to the film's performance once it hits screens globally on 27th June.
