Akshay Kumar Applauds Vishnu Manchu’s Passionate Commitment to Kannappa
As the release date of Kannappa draws closer, Akshay Kumar has lauded lead actor Vishnu Manchu for his extraordinary dedication to the project. Set to hit theatres on June 27th, Kannappa promises to be a grand mythological saga — and according to Akshay, Vishnu’s involvement went far beyond just acting.
“I’ve seen Vishnu in action—not just as the lead, but as someone completely immersed in the soul of the film. He was acting, coordinating things on set, even jumping in to help with the background and props when needed. At times, he felt like an art director too. He’s that hands-on.
There was a particular sequence—barely six or seven minutes on screen—but he spent nearly two hours explaining it to me in detail. I understood it early on, but he kept going because that’s how passionate he is. You rarely see an actor put themselves into a role with this much energy and heart. He’s truly lived and breathed Kannappa,” Akshay shared.
Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and backed by stunning visuals, high-octane action, and spiritual storytelling, Kannappa is one of this year’s most awaited cinematic experiences.
