Overview

  • The ₹200 crore mythological epic moves to Amazon Prime Video less than four weeks after its theatrical run.
  • Vishnu Manchu held off on finalizing the OTT deal to gauge the film’s theatrical performance without release pressure.
  • Kannappa earned ₹46 crore worldwide in 11 days following its June 27 debut, falling short of blockbuster expectations.
  • The production overcame a stolen VFX hard drive and piracy crackdowns that led to post-release edits and legal action.
  • Starring Vishnu Manchu, the epic retells a 2nd-century tribal hunter’s journey to devotion with cameos from Prabhas, Mohanlal and Akshay Kumar.
