The makers of the Telugu multistarrer 'Kannappa' unveiled its trailer last week after creating a buzz among the cinemagoers with its posters and behind-the-scenes videos of the film.

Led by Vishnu Manchu in the titular role, the film captures the journey of a fearless devotee of Lord Shiva, set against a visually rich and emotionally stirring backdrop.

The trailer also features Akshay Kumar in a powerful portrayal of Lord Shiva, a divine presence that adds gravitas to the narrative.

Joining the ensemble are Prabhas, who hints at a pivotal role in the larger story, and Mohanlal, who lends quiet strength and wisdom in his special cameo.

Veteran actor Mohan Babu is also a part of the film.

Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, 'Kannappa' also stars Kajal Aggarwal and Preity Mukhundhan.

Several scenes of the film have been shot in New Zealand.

The star cast is incredible - Prabhas, Mohanlal AND Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva? This might be the pan-India film of the year! Though I hope they don't rely just on star power and deliver a strong story too.

Vishnu Manchu has really grown as an actor over the years. His dedication shows in the trailer. Rajini sir's hug must have meant everything to him. Wishing the whole team success - hope it lives up to the hype!

The New Zealand shooting locations look breathtaking in the trailer! But I hope they've balanced it with proper Indian temple aesthetics too for a Shiva devotee's story. Excited to see how Kajal Aggarwal's role shapes up.

While the film looks grand, I hope they've treated the spiritual aspects with proper reverence and not just as commercial masala. Shiva bhakt stories need depth, not just visual effects. But Rajini sir's approval gives me hope!
