Kannappa, who comes from the Chenchu ​​tribe, gets an air gender in the forest during hunting.

As soon as he is ready to offer the other eye and offer it, Lord Shiva gives him darshan.
Many industries’ big names in the film’s cast
While Vishnu Manchu himself is playing the lead character in ‘Kannappa’, people are taking interest in it because of the way they have chosen actors for many big characters.

How is the chance of ‘Kannappa’ in Hindi?
Vishnu has released the Original Telugu version as well as ‘Kannappa’ in Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and English. While people know well about Kannappa’s story in South, many people do not know this story in North India. In this story, along with Shiva devotion, Akshay Kumar is a factor that can reach it to the Hindi audience. And for a big pan India success, ‘Kannappa”s strong business in Hindi is very important.
The problem is that along with this, Kajol’s Bollywood film ‘Maa’ has also been released in theaters. While Aamir Khan starrer ‘Stars Bhoomi Par’, released last week, is still gathering a good crowd in theaters. From above, ‘Kannappa’ has been on many limited screens and in many cities, the most popular theaters do not have shows.
In such a situation, Vishnu will reach his own Telugu audiences for Manchu’s film. But it seems a bit difficult for the Hindi audience to gather for his film. Nevertheless, a big chance near every film is that the film started getting praise from the public in the beginning. If this happens, then ‘Kannappa’ will definitely benefit a little in Hindi.
