The makers of Kannappa The Movie have taken the excitement surrounding their film to new heights by unveiling the full first look of Rebel Star Prabhas as ‘Rudra’ in the much-anticipated mythological drama. The official social media handles shared the poster, introducing Prabhas in the role of Rudra, a force of divine strength, wisdom, and protector. The caption accompanying the poster read, “The Mighty 'Rudra', Unveiling Darling-Rebel Star Prabhas As Rudra, a force of divine strength, wisdom, and protector in #Kannappa.” This announcement has sparked tremendous anticipation, as fans now look forward to seeing Prabhas in a role that combines power and grace in an epic narrative based on devotion, sacrifice, and divine love.
Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by Mohan Babu, Kannappa is set to bring the legendary tale of a devoted follower of Lord Shiva to the big screen. The film delves into the story of Kannappa, a hunter whose unwavering devotion to Lord Shiva leads him to make unimaginable sacrifices, reflecting themes of loyalty, faith, and selflessness. Vishnu Manchu will play the titular role of Kannappa, bringing depth and emotion to this intense character, whose journey of devotion and moral dilemmas promises to strike a chord with audiences.
In a move that adds even more star power to this ambitious project, Kannappa also features some of the biggest names in Indian cinema. Alongside Vishnu Manchu's compelling central performance, fans can expect appearances from the legendary Mohanlal, Bollywood megastar Akshay Kumar (who will be making his Telugu debut), and the graceful Kajal Aggarwal. However, it’s Prabhas’s portrayal of Rudra that has captured particular attention, with the first look alone leaving fans eager to see how he brings this divine character to life. With R. Sarathkumar, Kaushal Manda, Brahmanandam, and Mukesh Rishi also in key roles, the film is shaping up to be a visual and emotional spectacle.
Kannappa promises to be more than just a mythological tale. With its grand narrative, powerful performances, and stunning visuals, the film is set to become a landmark in Indian cinema. The buzz around the film continues to grow, especially with the highly anticipated reveal of the full trailer on February 3rd. Whether you’re a fan of epic storytelling, mythology, or the incredible talent involved, Kannappa is a movie you won’t want to miss. Set to hit the big screen in April 2025, the film is primed to take audiences on an unforgettable cinematic journey.
