Vishnu Manchu, Akshay Kumar's 'Kannappa' now available on this OTT platform

The mythological drama 'Kannappa', starring Vishnu Manchu and Akshay Kumar, is now available for streaming on Prime Video. The film, which had a theatrical release on June 27, has made a quiet digital debut after a ten-week waiting period.

Despite significant online buzz and a star-studded cast, the movie struggled at the box office, with reports from Sacnilk showing a domestic collection of just ₹31.93 crore against a budget of approximately ₹200 crore.

The worldwide gross stood at ₹41.75 crore.

Where to watch and what to expect

The film is currently streaming in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. There is no official word yet on the release of the Hindi-dubbed version.

Prime Video announced the launch with a post, "Glory, Guts and Grandeur all in one epic #KannappaOnPrime, Watch Now."

Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the story follows Thinnadu, a fierce tribal warrior, on his journey from being a staunch atheist to a devout follower of Lord Shiva. The film's climax features a dramatic scene where Thinnadu, now known as Kannappa, is about to sacrifice his remaining eye to the deity before Lord Shiva intervenes.

The movie features a large ensemble cast, including Preity Mukhundhan, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Madhoo, and Mukesh Rishi, with cameo appearances by Mohanlal, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal.
