Kannappa: AP govt grants ticket price hike of Rs 50 for Vishnu Manchu starrer
Kannappa starring Vishnu Manchu is slated to hit the big screens on June 27, 2025. Ahead of the fantasy movie's release, it has now received a ticket price hike by the Andhra Pradesh government.
In an official update by the government shared by multiple sources, including Aakashavani, Kannappa is set to receive a price hike of Rs 50 on tickets. This hike in the ticket rates will be for a total of 10 days for both single screens and multiplexes in the state.
Earlier, the government had issued a price hike on tickets for the Dhanush and Nagarjuna Akkineni starrer Kuberaa, which released on June 20, 2025.
For those unaware, Kannappa, starring Vishnu Manchu, is an upcoming fantasy film based on the legend of Kannappa from Hindu mythology. The story narrates the tale of a non-believer man and hunter, Thinnandu, who, in his due course of life, becomes an ardent follower of lord Shiva.
Aside from the lead actor, the film features stars like Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, and Kajal Aggarwal in cameo appearances. Moreover, it has Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, and more in supporting roles.
As the legendary tale goes, it is believed that Kannappa was a saint in the Saiva Siddhanta tradition, closely connected with the Srikalahasti Temple in Andhra Pradesh.
Originally a hunter, Kannappa discovered a Siva Lingam. Offering the idol of Shiva with water and even meat from his hunts, the god was pleased with the hunter's devotion, despite it being considered an unconventional practice.
As the story progresses, the man finally decides to give the god one of his eyes as an offering. As he was about to give his second eye, Lord Shiva intervened and stopped him.
While multiple actors are set to appear in cameo roles, Prabhas will be playing the role of Rudra, a Rigvedic deity. The makers of the movie have announced that the film will have the actor for approximately 45 minutes of screentime.
Talking about the Rebel Star's work front, Prabhas is next set to appear in the lead role for The Raja Saab. The horror comedy movie is slated to release on December 5, 2025.

Aamir Khan's boldest confession ever: 4 years of therapy made him find love again at 60. 'Gauri Spratt met a better Aamir'
Celebrating his 60th birthday this year, Bollywood icon Aamir Khan made headlines when he introduced the media to his new partner, Gauri Spratt . Known for being open about his personal journey, Khan shared insights into his evolving relationship during a candid conversation with Filmfare . He emphasized the transformative role that therapy has played in helping him become a more emotionally grounded and balanced individual. This, in turn, has allowed his bond with Gauri to flourish in a healthier and more peaceful way. Healing Through Therapy Khan admitted that he had undergone therapy for the past four years. He acknowledged that his personal growth through therapy sessions has made a significant impact on his new relationship. As a result of working on himself, the version of Aamir that Gauri has come to know is more self-aware, settled, and emotionally present. He said that therapy helped him make better decisions in his personal life. 'Take something as basic as choosing a partner; after four years of therapy, I can now spot red flags from a mile away," he told Filmfare. This inner healing has laid the foundation for a stronger and more meaningful connection between the two. 'Gauri is meeting a different Aamir now, a more healed version. A little more at ease. Hopefully, a little better." Gratitude Toward Former Partners The actor also spoke with deep appreciation for his former wives, Reena Dutta and Kiran Rao. Despite their marriages ending, Khan highlighted that both women have continued to be sources of warmth and encouragement in his life. Their mutual admiration and respect, he believes, have allowed them to maintain close, meaningful ties even after parting ways. Aamir acknowledged the uniqueness of these relationships, emphasizing the absence of resentment or bitterness in both cases. A Rare Bond With Reena and Kiran Recalling a personal moment involving Reena's father, Aamir described how she reached out to him when her father was diagnosed with cancer but was reluctant to seek medical help. Aamir was able to persuade him to undergo treatment. This incident, he noted, was a reflection of the deep trust that still exists between them. Witnessing such unity during his daughter Ira's wedding, Aamir was struck by how rare it is for such enduring affection to persist even after divorce. Return to the Silver Screen Professionally, Aamir Khan has returned to acting with Sitaare Zameen Par , a sports drama directed by RS Prasanna. Touted as a spiritual continuation of his acclaimed 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, the new release has performed exceptionally well at the box office, raking in over Rs 115 crore in just six days. Who Is Gauri Spratt? Gauri Spratt, originally from Bengaluru, is associated with Aamir Khan Films and has academic credentials in fashion, styling, and photography from the University of Arts in London. She comes from a diverse background, with a Tamilian mother and an Irish father, and is a single mother to a six-year-old son. While she and Aamir have known each other for over 25 years, their relationship only recently evolved into a romantic one.

New Delhi: Luxury fashion label Prada has irked desis and how!

The footwear was in tan leather, thin straps, and even toe rings. But the label gave no credit to India or its craftsmen, leaving internet fuming. Priced at a whopping Rs 1.16 lakh, these Kolhapuri Chappals are trending and opened debate over cultural appropriation once again. On Prada's Instagram page where the posts from the show have been shared, many users commented to vent out their anger. One user wrote: Guys! Say with me "CHAPPAL CHOR" . Another one wrote: Its Kolhapuri chappals. Stop copying us and renaming everything we have created One person said: Give credit to the one who invented it!!!! Another user said: Aaah another cultural appropriation at its best ! Fashion critic page Diet Sabya also reacted to the Prada Kolhapuri Chappals. The caption read: Wait. A. Minute? Chintz, cummerbunds, Nehru jackets. Turbans on international runways. Recently the ludicrous "Scandi Scarf" and "Mandi Bag"! Along with a slew of remixes of Indian fits that had zero business being remixed. And now? The Kolhapuri?! Not to be that nagging aunty but are we ready for a Prada Kolhapuri that'll cost us £1,000 a pair? And that'll be "Fashion" because Europeans will suddenly start wearing it. Quite interesting if you think about it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DietSabya (@dietsabya) While "Made in France" and "Made in Italy" has always been seen as the benchmark of quality, recently western market is flooded with "Made in India", sold with a European label and name. All that embroidery. All that artisanal flex. All produced in India. Always has been. So let's not act brand new. India is not the next big trend. India has been the moment. The West (thanks to TikTok) is just waking up and acting like they discovered it. Lmao. Discuss View this post on Instagram A post shared by Prada (@prada) What Are Kolhapuri Chappals? Kolhapuri chappals are Indian decorative hand-crafted and braided leather slippers that are locally tanned using vegetable dyes. The origin of Kolhapuri Chappals dates back to 12th century when the King Bijjala and his prime minister Basavanna encouraged Kolhapuri Chappal production to support local cordwainers. Kolhapuris were first worn as early as the 13th century. Previously known as Kapashi, Paytaan, Kachkadi, Bakkalnali, and Pukri, the name indicated the village where they were made.
