I Hope Kannappa Has The Blessings of Lord Shiva: Mohanlal

I Wish Mohanlal’s Fans Will Help Kannappa Becoming Bigger Hit Than Thudarum: Mohan Babu

Sharing the screen with Mohanlal is a blessing from my past life: Vishnu Manchu

Dynamic Star Vishnu Manchu’s dream project ‘Kannappa’ produced by M. Mohan Babu under the banners of AVA Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory, and directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh is set for a grand worldwide release on June 27th. The teaser, songs, and posters released so far have increased expectations around the movie. On Saturday, the trailer was launched at a spectacular event held in Kochi.

*While speaking at the event, Mohanlal stated,* “Right now, pan-India movies are trending. Films are being made without language barriers. ‘Kannappa’ has turned out really well, and I’m happy to be part of it. Actors, and technicians from different languages worked together on this movie.

I thank Mohan Babu and Vishnu for giving me such a powerful role. Kannappa was a great devotee of Lord Shiva, and this story was made beautifully. We shot it amazingly in New Zealand. Mohan Babu’s family is like my own. I pray that Lord Shiva blesses this ‘Kannappa’ movie. It’s releasing on June 27. I hope it becomes a big success.”

*Dr Mohan Babu said,* “Mohanlal is like a brother to me. Long ago, I remade his Malayalam film ‘Chitram’ into Telugu as ‘Alludu Garu’, and that helped me rise again as a star. Since then, we’ve been close. Mohanlal hasn’t changed one bit over the years, physically or mentally. He’s a simple man with a pure heart. He’s a great actor, and despite his status, he only brings one makeup man with him. He arrives on set before everyone else.

For this film, Mohanlal didn’t take a single rupee. I’m forever thankful for the love he showed. I’m happy that Vishnu got to act with him. I never had that chance, and I’m still asking for it. Our ‘Kannappa’ film is coming on June 27. I request Mohanlal’s fans to make this film collect more than his previous hit, ‘Thudarum’.”

*Vishnu Manchu said,* “There’s nothing more I need to say about ‘Kannappa’. You’ve already seen the visuals. This film happened with Lord Shiva’s blessings. It’s releasing on June 27. I’m a big fan of Mohanlal. He’s like a father figure to me and part of our family. His influence crosses generations. If you watch the trailer, you’ll understand the power of his character. I can’t reveal the surprise just yet. Sharing the screen with Mohanlal is a blessing from my past life. He is so humble.

Prabhas is my friend, and he has great respect for my father. Thank you to Aashirvad Cinemas for releasing our film.”

*Director Mukesh Kumar Singh stated:* “This land was walked by great saints like Parashurama and Adi Shankaracharya, who was a true devotee of Lord Shiva. Many people make movies with love and passion, but we made this film as a prayer to Shiva. Just as Krishna is called ‘Mohana’, I had the opportunity to work with two ‘Mohan’s in this film—Mohan Babu garu and Mohanlal garu, both outstanding actors.

I’ve learned so much from Mohan Babu garu about acting, passion, dedication, and his deep knowledge of cinema. Mohanlal’s acting speaks for itself. After seeing him off-screen, I want to be like him. Vishnu worked very hard for this movie. Today, the Ayyappa temple is being opened, and we released our trailer on this auspicious day. I hope Ayyappa Swamy’s blessings are with us.”

*Actor Arpit Ranka said:* “It was my luck to get a chance in a movie like ‘Kannappa’. With Lord Shiva’s blessings, we made it happen. I’m happy to have worked with Vishnu, Mohan Babu, Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Prabhas. I recently watched Mohanlal’s ‘Thudarum’ and loved it. Please watch our film releasing on June 27.”

*Actor Mukesh Rishi stated:* “Vishnu worked very hard for this film. I’m happy to have acted in such a great project. Vishnu took very good care of all of us. I believe Lord Shiva will bless this film. I’m happy to have worked with Mohan Babu. All the best to the ‘Kannappa’ team.”

*Aashirvad Cinemas Head Anthony Perumbavoor said:* “A Mohan Babu film is like our own film. We consider it our home production. I believe everyone will love this movie.”

The trailer received overwhelming response from all corners and is trending top on YouTube. It indeed set the bar high for the movie.
