Talking about the meetup, Vishnu Manchu says,"Meeting Hon'ble CM Yogi Adityanath ji was a moment of immense honour for all of us. As someone who has poured a decade of my life into Kannappa, seeing him resonate with the soul of our film was incredibly moving. He understood that Kannappa isn't just a story—it's a cultural resurrection. The fact that he called for more such films to be made and seen affirms the spiritual and cultural power cinema can hold. His words were a reminder that our mythology, our history, our heroes must continue to find their voice on the big screen and be passed down to generations. It is a privilege to have the release date of the film – June 27, unveiled by him."
Recently, the teaser was released. It shared a glimpse of Prabhas as 'Divine Guardian' Rudra. It also revealed that Akshay Kumar will be essaying the role of Lord Shiva in his Telugu debut.
