5 moments from Kannappa trailer that you shouldn't miss
1. Vishnu Manchu's fiery action moments
As the Kannappa trailer dropped, the story is surely set to explore the lore of the title character, a devotee of god Shiva, which is based on a legend from Hinduism.
As the film takes place within a mythological setup, the action sequences mix raw intensity with elements of fantasy.
2. Vishnu Manchu and Preity Mukhundhan's romance
As Vishnu Manchu plays the role of Kannappa, the film has Preity Mukhundan playing his romantic interest. As the Aasa Kooda fame actress makes her way into the magnum opus, both actors manage to balance the romantic quotient in the movie.
3. Prabhas' striking cameo
As multiple actors are appearing for a cameo appearance, many fans are eagerly awaiting Prabhas playing a character called Rudra. The actor appears to play a pivotal role in changing the once non-believer Kannappa into an ardent devotee of Shiva.
4. Mohanlal playing tribal warrior
Nearing the end of the trailer, Kannappa showcased Malayali superstar Mohanlal in a tribal warrior-like role. The actor was seen in a fierce look, which may have been a hit-or-miss moment for viewers.
While more details about his character haven't been made, the trailer would likely have him as a sort of mentor to Kannappa.
5. Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva
Akshay Kumar stands impressively throughout the entire trailer, making his presence as Lord Shiva. The film, which holds a strong narrative towards the Hindu god, has the Bollywood superstar appear with grace and serenity.
Kannappa is the upcoming fantasy film starring Vishnu Manchu in the lead role. The cinematic venture features the tale of a non-believer who transitions to become a devotee of the god.
Apart from the mentioned actors, the film has Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, and many more in key roles.

Unni Mukundan Shelves Marco 2 Plans Due To 'Too Much Negativity'
Unni didn't dodge it. In a candid reply, he wrote, 'Bro, apologies, but I have dropped plans to continue the Marco series. Too much negativity around the project. I'll try my best to bring something bigger and better than Marco. Thanks for all the love and positivity. Cheers." Take a look: The original Marco, a gritty crime thriller, was a commercial success and had stirred buzz for a sequel. Helmed by director Haneef Adeni, the film stood out for its gripping narrative and striking visuals. But Marco also drew flak for its intense violence and morally ambiguous characters. The mixed reactions, especially the criticism over its dark tone, seem to have played a part in Unni Mukundan's decision to call off the sequel. Veteran actor Jagadish, who portrayed the menacing antagonist Tony Isaac in Marco, had earlier weighed in on the controversy. At a press event, he said, 'The question is, do audiences like the character or Jagadish as a person? In Marco, my character supports violence. But does the audience like Tony Isaac or Jagadish? If it's Jagadish they like, then let me be clear, I have never spoken in favour of violence." Marco is a 2024 Malayalam neo-noir action thriller directed and written by Haneef Adeni. Produced by Shareef Muhammed under the Cubes Entertainments banner, the film features Unni Mukundan in the lead as Marco Jr., a cold-blooded gangster raised by the feared Adattu crime family. The story kicks off after the violent death of his blind foster brother Victor, triggering Marco's brutal path of vengeance. The film, a standalone spin-off of Mikhael, exists in the same universe, with some familiar characters placed in a new narrative. It also stars Siddique, Jagadish, Kabir Duhan Singh, Abhimanyu Shammi Thilakan, Anson Paul, Ishaan Shoukath, and Yukti Thareja in key roles. Gritty, violent, and stylized, Marco made waves for its dark themes and intense storytelling. Meanwhile, Unni Mukundan was last seen in the comedy-drama Get Set Baby, directed by Vinay Govind.
