Indian actor-producer Vishnu Manchu kicked off the US leg of the Kannappa promotional tour with a grand event at the Regal Commerce Center in North Brunswick on May 8. The global release of the movie, a historical drama, is slated for June 27.
The evening brought together over a hundred members of the Indian diaspora who were treated to the never-seen-before footage from the film, especially curated for the US media and fans. The event was filled with emotion, energy, and deep spiritual resonance as Vishnu shared the inspiration behind the making of the film rooted in the legend of Lord Shiva’s most devoted follower.

Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by Mohan Babu, Kannappa is a sweeping Pan-Indian language cinematic experience that unites some of Indian cinema’s biggest stars — Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar (in his Telugu debut), and Kajal Aggarwal — with Vishnu Manchu in the titular role. "This film is not just a spectacle, it’s a soul journey," said Vishnu Manchu adding that "Kannappa celebrates the kind of fearless devotion that transcends religion and region.”
Set in a lush tribal landscape, Kannappa follows Thinnadu, a skilled archer whose bravery and spiritual awakening lead him to become a symbol of unity and sacrifice for his people. The film interweaves action, faith, and romance, culminating in a breathtaking climax that showcases the power of love, belief, and collective strength.
"The response here in New Jersey has been overwhelming," Vishnu added. "The Indian diaspora holds onto our culture in powerful ways. With Kannappa, I hope we’re giving them a story that feels both ancient and urgently relevant." After the successful New Jersey event, Vishnu Manchu also promoted the film in Dallas and San Francisco, interacting with fans.
With its rich historical inspiration, soul-stirring music, and unprecedented ensemble cast, Kannappa is poised to be one of the most anticipated Indian releases of the year, aiming to captivate both traditional filmgoers and new audiences across borders.
