Mohan Babu, Vishnu Manchu & Team Kannappa kick off their 12 jyotirlingas visit

Legendary actor Mohan Babu, accompanied by his son Vishnu Manchu, filmmaker Mukesh Kumar, and actor Arpit Ranka, embarked on a spiritual pilgrimage to the revered temples of Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Rishikesh. The group undertook this sacred journey to seek divine blessings and immerse themselves in the spiritual energy of these historic sites to seek blessings for their magnum opus – Kannappa – headlined by Vishnu Manchu

The team visited Kedarnath, one of the twelve jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva, nestled amidst the majestic Himalayas. They also offered prayers at Badrinath. Their travel concluded with a visit to Rishikesh. 

*Vishnu Manchu shared,* "Our trip to Kedarnath, Badrinath and Rishikesh was a deeply personal and humbling experience. My aim is to visit all 12 Jyotirlingas before the release of our film Kannappa which is based on the biggest devotee of Lord Shiva. With the blessings of Mahadev we are now looking forward to the release of our epic actioner very soon."

Vishnu Manchu’s film Kannappa is set to deliver a larger-than-life theatrical experience, as the first look of the film creates excitement among fans. Inspired by epic sagas like The Lord of the Rings, the movie is visually stunning, shot in the scenic landscapes of New Zealand by renowned Hollywood cinematographer Sheldon Chau. The poster reveals a powerful image of the warrior Kannappa in an enchanted forest, symbolizing the film’s blend of modern filmmaking with classic storytelling.

Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the film features an ensemble cast, including Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas and Sharath Kumar. Kannappa revolves around the story of Bhakta Kannappa, a devout follower of Lord Shiva. Vishnu Manchu, who plays the lead, describes the film as a journey of devotion, valour, and spiritual exploration.
