Kannappa Set for Digital Debut

After making its theatrical debut on 27 June 2025, Vishnu Manchu’s much-anticipated mythological drama Kannappa is ready for its OTT release on Amazon Prime Video from 4 September 2025. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, this devotional film, centred on faith, devotion, and transformation, promises to recreate its cinematic grandeur for audiences worldwide in the comfort of their homes.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting this update, as most Telugu films arrive on digital platforms within a month of release. Interestingly, Kannappa has taken over two months to make its way online, sparking curiosity and anticipation among viewers.

A Tale of Transformation and Devotion

The story revolves around Thinnadu, a tribal warrior played by Vishnu Manchu, who begins as a non-believer but undergoes a profound transformation to become an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva. This emotional and spiritual journey lies at the heart of the narrative.

Adding depth to the storytelling, Vishnu’s own son, Avram, appears as young Thinnadu, making the casting a personal and emotional choice. Actress Preeti Mukundan takes on the role of Nemli, Thinnadu’s love interest, providing human warmth and connection to an otherwise mythologically driven tale.

A Star-Studded Ensemble Cast

What makes Kannappa particularly exciting is its power-packed cast of Indian cinema icons:

Akshay Kumar as the majestic Lord Shiva

Kajal Aggarwal as Mata Parvati

Prabhas in a powerful cameo as Rudra

Mohan Babu as Mahadev Shastri

Mohanlal essaying the role of Kirata

Sharat Kumar as Nathanathudu

This stellar lineup brought immense buzz ahead of its release, as audiences across India looked forward to witnessing these celebrated stars embody divine characters.

Reception and Box Office Journey

Upon its release, Kannappa drew mixed reviews from critics and audiences. While many celebrated its grandeur, elaborate sets, and the visual scale of the storytelling, others felt the narrative pace could have been sharper. Nevertheless, the film struck a chord with devotees and mythological drama lovers.

According to industry reports, Kannappa earned approximately ₹31.93 crore net in India and ₹41.75 crore worldwide, a decent box-office run for a devotional drama in today’s competitive market. With the upcoming OTT release, the film is poised to reach a much wider audience globally, especially among those who missed its theatrical run.

What to Expect on Amazon Prime Video

The OTT release of Kannappa offers audiences the opportunity to immerse themselves in the grandeur of its mythology at their convenience. The film’s rich visuals, powered by stunning set designs and soulful performances, are expected to resonate even more in a personal viewing setup.

As Vishnu Manchu wrote on social media: “Witness the epic, spirit of sacrifice & divinity. #Kannappa releases digitally on Sept 4, 2025, only on Prime Video. Har Har Mahadev. Har Ghar Mahadev.” His words capture the essence of what the film aspires to achieve—bringing Lord Shiva’s story into every household.

A Divine Journey Continues

With its OTT release on Amazon Prime Video, Kannappa is expected to extend its journey from being just a theatrical experience to becoming a global digital offering. Blending mythology, devotion, and cinematic spectacle, the film reflects the timeless appeal of stories rooted in Indian culture.

For audiences who admire larger-than-life cinema or have a spiritual inclination, Kannappa promises to be a deeply engaging watch.
