The grandeur of Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa continues to unfold as the film's star-studded cast takes shape. The latest addition to the epic ensemble is the formidable Mukesh Rishi, who is set to portray the menacing Kampadu.

As the chieftain of the ancient Pulindulu tribe, Rishi's character is a pivotal force in the mythological narrative. Known as the Bhadra Ganam, the Pulindulu are revered guardians of the sacred Sadasiva hills, where they fiercely protect the Shiva Vayu Linga, their weapon of choice being the trident. Rishi's portrayal of this iconic figure promises to be a cinematic spectacle.

Joining Vishnu Manchu in this epic undertaking is a constellation of cinematic talents, including Mohanlal as Brahma, Prabhas as Nandi, Akshay Kumar as Shiva, and Kajal Aggarwal as Parvati. The supporting cast, a powerhouse of acting prowess, features Mohan Babu, Sarathkumar, Brahmanandam, Raghu Babu, Madhoo, Aiswarya Bhaskaran, Priety Mukundan, and Saptagiri.

With Stephen Devassy's musical genius and Sheldon Chau's masterful cinematography, Kannappa is poised to be a visually stunning and aurally immersive experience. Produced under the banners of AVA Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory by Mohan Babu, the film is scheduled for a grand release on December 6, 2024.

The revelation of Mukesh Rishi as Kampadu has ignited further anticipation for Kannappa, elevating the film's status as one of the most awaited cinematic events of the year. As the release date draws nearer, fans eagerly await more glimpses into this mythological extravaganza.

Manchu Vishnu's bold and daring decision to come up with a mythological entertainer on an extravagant manner on the big celluloid is winning the appreciation of all. The expectations are increasing on the film and Manchu Vishnu is leaving no stone unturned to give an breathtaking experience unraveling the story of Kannappa, the greatest devotee of Lord Shiva on the big screen.
