Vishnu Manchu’s highly anticipated film Kannappa is scheduled for release on June 27, 2025. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, this mythological thriller tells the tale of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohan Babu, Sarathkumar, and Brahmanandam.
As a pan-India production, Kannappa is drawing attention for its devotional theme. Advance bookings in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have been impressive. According to BookMyShow, more than 27,000 tickets were sold in the past 24 hours in the Telugu region. Meanwhile, bookings in the U.S. have been slow, as they opened only yesterday—later than the typical one-week advance window.
So far, the U.S. sales have reached $10.3K across 263 locations with only 486 tickets sold. Comparatively, Prabhas’ previous film Kuberaa had stronger pre-sales, making it a tough benchmark for Kannappa. However, the film is expected to do extremely well in India. In Andhra Pradesh, ticket prices have even increased by ₹50 in anticipation of high demand. With strong promotions by Vishnu Manchu and a spiritually resonant narrative, Kannappa is gearing up for a potentially powerful box office opening.
