For context, Prasanth Varma’s Teja Sajja-starrer HanuMan was a surprise juggernaut when it was released in theatres in 2024. The film managed to beat some star-led vehicles like Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram, Venkatesh’s Saindhav and Nagarjuna’s Naa Saami Ranga, bringing in ₹40.65 crore in its opening weekend. The film had a ₹4.5 crore opening on Thursday and had collected ₹24.65 crore within two days of release. Kannappa has only Kuberaa to compete with, which was released last week in theatres and has collected ₹75.7 crore net in India so far.
