Kannappa box office target: Kannappa, one of the most eagerly-awaited films of the month, is set to open in theatres on June 27. The action drama has created a fair deal of buzz among fans with its trailer. The fact that it features cameos from big names in the industry has further added to the curiosity surrounding it. Kannappa has been shot on a budget of Rs 200 crore and is the biggest film of Vishnu Manchu's career. So, how much does it need to gross in India to be a 'hit'? Let's find out
How much does Kannappa need to earn to be a success?
Vishnu Manchu is in the limelight because of his latest film Kannappa, which is slated to open in theatres on June 27. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the film needs to collect in the range of Rs 150 crore to Rs 200 crore in India to emerge as a 'hit'.
'It is a pan-India film and has been shot on a decent budget. As such, I feel it should do anything around Rs 150 crore and Rs 200 crore in India to be successful,' he told Indiatimes.
Interestingly, Vishnu Manchu's previous release Ginna (2022) was a big flop at the box office. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, it earned nearly Rs 2 crore in India in its full run. That said, Kannappa may prove to be a different story. It has been promoted more aggressively. Moreover, it features the likes of Prabhas and Akshay Kumar in key roles. Their presence might help the film if the word-of-mouth is positive.

Kannappa: An Unforgettable Blend of Divine Myth and Blockbuster Entertainment
SMPL Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 26: One of the boldest cinematic experiments in recent memory, Kannappa redefines how Indian mythology is told on screen. With Vishnu Manchu at its emotional core, Prabhas bringing global magnetism and Akshay Kumar adding mainstream power, this film is destined to become a pan-Indian phenomenon that thrills, inspires, and entertains. The Power of a Devotee At the center of the film is a story of profound spiritual devotion: the legend of Kannappa, a fearless tribal hunter whose unshakable love for Lord Shiva propels him to perform one of the most selfless acts ever chronicled. This timeless narrative of courage and surrender is adapted for the screen with high-octane visuals, thrilling moments, and soul-stirring emotion. But Kannappa is more than a retelling--it's a reinvention. The filmmakers have reimagined this ancient tale through the lens of modern cinema, delivering an emotionally rich and visually explosive experience that resonates with today's viewers while honoring its cultural origins. Vishnu Manchu: A Heroic Transformation Vishnu Manchu, who plays the titular role, delivers what many are already calling a career-defining performance. His physicality, expressive power, and emotional range bring Kannappa to life with raw intensity and spiritual gravitas. From battle sequences to heart-wrenching devotional scenes, Vishnu showcases an astonishing blend of action-hero dynamism and soulful sensitivity. As the film's producer, Vishnu has also spearheaded the project's creative vision, ensuring that every frame reflects authenticity, cinematic scale, and emotional depth. His ambition, backed by a top-tier production team, positions Kannappa as a landmark achievement in Indian filmmaking. Prabhas: Infusing Grandeur into Kannappa Prabhas known for his international success with Baahubali, brings immense star appeal and grandeur to Kannappa. His special appearance heightens the film's scale and draws in a global audience. As a symbol of cinematic excellence and mass fandom, Prabhas adds a larger-than-life aura that enhances the film's visual spectacle and international reach. Akshay Kumar: A Star Turn Rooted in Faith Joining Vishnu is none other than Akshay Kumar, one of India's most versatile and bankable stars. Known for seamlessly navigating between genres, Akshay takes on a transformative role in Kannappa--one that taps into his gravitas and larger-than-life persona. In this mythological venture, Akshay embodies divine authority and emotional resonance. His presence in the film ensures a massive draw from Hindi-speaking regions and adds pan-Indian appeal. It's a strategic casting that elevates the film's market reach and deepens its narrative impact. Akshay's performance brings power and poise to the screen, marking one of his most spiritually nuanced roles yet. His chemistry with Vishnu adds compelling dramatic tension and balances the film's emotional core. Supporting Giants of Indian Cinema Backing these stellar leads is a formidable ensemble that unites the best of Indian talent: * Mohan Babu, a towering presence in Telugu cinema, brings emotional wisdom and moral strength. * Mohanlal, the stalwart of Malayalam cinema, enriches the ensemble with cultural gravitas and screen mastery. Together, this team delivers a cinematic synergy rarely witnessed on the Indian screen--one that spans languages, generations, and traditions. A Technical Masterpiece Kannappa isn't just about narrative; it's also a visual and auditory experience designed for the big screen. With a budget rivaling some of the largest international productions, the film features: * State-of-the-art VFX that enhances its mythical setting,* Lavish set designs replicating ancient temples, forests, and war zones,* Authentic tribal costumes and makeup,* A soul-stirring background score and original soundtrack that underscores the film's emotional beats. Each scene has been meticulously designed to create an immersive world--one that draws the audience into Kannappa's spiritual odyssey. A Celebration of Indian Culture More than a film, Kannappa is a cultural event. It's a story that blends action, spirituality, family values, and visual innovation into one powerful experience. It appeals equally to cinephiles, mythology lovers, action buffs, and family audiences. The Devotion of a Nation Anticipation for Kannappa is soaring. Social media is buzzing, industry insiders are excited, and moviegoers across India are eagerly awaiting this magnum opus. It's already being hailed as one of the most awaited films of the year. From the mountainous forests of India to the multiplexes of metropolitan cities, Kannappa promises to touch hearts, stir minds, and entertain like never before. Experience a story of divine love, fierce loyalty, and unshakable faith--told with the grand scale Indian cinema is known for. Kannappa: Coming soon to unite hearts across the nation and the world.

F1 (Formula One) Box Office: Brad Pitt starrer scores strong advance booking in India, headed to open at Rs 5 crore
Brad Pitt's much-awaited movie F1 (Formula One) is all set to hit the screens in a couple of hours. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the sports drama is among the most anticipated movies of Hollywood this year, and it has generated a solid buzz not only in the US but also in the Indian markets. F1 (Formula One) sells 65,000 tickets in top national chains in India Distributed by Warner Bros Pictures and Apple Original Films, F1 has recorded impressive pre-sales at the Indian box office. As per estimates, the Brad Pitt starrer has sold over 65,000 tickets in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis- for the first day alone. The advance booking of F1 indicates a good opening at the Indian box office. Usually, Hollywood movies, apart from IP/franchise films, do not open with an opening of Rs 5 crore plus in India, but F1 has the potential to emerge as an exception. As per current trends, the Brad Pitt starrer has chances of not only surpassing the Rs 5 crore net mark on its opening day, but also can touch the Rs 6 crore figure. However, a lot will depend on its spot-booking and walk-ins. Given multiple releases this weekend, F1 is releasing on a decent number of screens. As soon as word-of-mouth flourishes, the stakeholders are expected to add more shows, seeing the audience's reception and demand. It will face tough competition from Kajol's MAA, Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa, and Rekha's Umrao Jaan re-release. F1 (Formula One) worldwide box office projections On the global front, the sports drama is projected to debut with USD 100 million plus, which will be a banger start for a standalone movie. It is expected to gross USD 40 million to USD 50 million on its opening day in the domestic markets alone. If it stands on the expectations, the movie will storm past the opening day collections of the M3GAN sequel at the US box office. Reportedly, the movie is mounted on a high budget of USD 200 million. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
