Vishnu Manchu’s upcoming mythological drama, Kannappa, is already generating significant buzz, even before its theatrical release. The latest to commend the film and its star is Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, who has expressed his profound admiration for Vishnu Manchu’s exceptional dedication to the project.
Akshay Kumar highlighted Vishnu Manchu’s remarkable ability to multitask seamlessly on set. The Airlift actor shared, “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, and 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.”
Providing an example of Vishnu Manchu’s meticulous attention to detail and passion, Akshay Kumar added, “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.” This isn’t the first time Kannappa has received high praise; earlier, superstar Rajinikanth attended a private screening of the highly anticipated drama. Deeply impressed by the film, Rajinikanth reportedly gave Vishnu Manchu a warm hug and conveyed his love for the movie.
