'Kannappa' box office collection Day 4: Vishnu Manchu-Prabhas-Akshay Kumar's mythological epic mints Rs 2.5 crore on Monday; makes Rs 25.90 crore after its first weekend
Picture Credit: X Vishnu Manchu's mythological drama 'Kannappa' is running in theatres and is performing decently at the box office. After opening to a positive reception from audiences and earning praise for its emotional second half and powerful star cameos of Prabhas , Akshay Kumar , Mohanlal, the film entered its first Monday with an expected dip, but held on well given the weekday scenario. Kannappa Movie Review According to early estimates from trade analyst Sacnilk, 'Kannappa' made Rs 2.5 crore on its first Monday, bringing its total collection over four days to Rs 25.90 crore. The mythological epic premiered in theatres on Friday, June 27. It started strong, earning Rs 9.35 crore on Day 1, followed by Rs 7.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 6.9 crore on Sunday. Occupancy trend Although the film experienced a typical drop in numbers on Monday, 'Kannappa' continued to attract good audiences, especially for its Telugu version, due to its cultural appeal. In Tamil-speaking regions, the film had an overall occupancy of 11.38%. The turnout throughout the day was fairly balanced: 10.74% in the morning, 12.08% in the afternoon, 9.41% in the evening, and 13.28% during the night shows. The Telugu version, as the original language, performed better with an overall Monday occupancy of 15.53%. The morning started at 12.22%. It gradually improved to 16.16% in the afternoon and peaked at 17.42% in the evening, followed by 16.32% in the night shows. The Hindi version of 'Kannappa' had a steady performance for a dubbed release, with an overall occupancy of 9.39%. The turnout began at 3.91% in the morning and increased to 9.06% in the afternoon, 10.30% in the evening, and 14.29% in the night shows. This reflects growing interest among northern audiences. In Malayalam-speaking areas, the film had a modest overall occupancy of 6.97%, with 5.43% in the morning, 8.63% in the afternoon, 5.16% in the evening, and 8.66% in the night shows. About the film Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, 'Kannappa' is based on the story of Thinnadu, a fearless tribal warrior who becomes one of Lord Shiva's most ardent devotees. Vishnu Manchu plays the titular role with conviction, while Akshay Kumar takes on the divine role of Lord Shiva. Prabhas gives an impactful appearance as Rudra, and Mohanlal as Kirata has added tremendous star power and helped pull in audiences across markets. The film also features Preity Mukhundhan, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, and Madhoo, among others. Despite the initial box office success, 'Kannappa' has faced piracy issues, with Vishnu Manchu taking to social media to appeal to fans to avoid illegal viewing. He shared that over 30,000 piracy links had been taken down. He wrote, "Dear movie lovers, #Kannappa is under attack from piracy. Over 30,000 illegal links have already been taken down. This is heartbreaking. Piracy is theft — plain and simple. We don't teach our children to steal. Watching pirated content is no different. Please don't encourage it. Support cinema the right way. Har Har Mahadev".

Skip Bayless slams Tom Brady as a 'sellout' and questions his loyalty to the NFL legacy
Tom Brady and LeBron James' friendship sparks Skip Bayless meltdown on live TV (Getty Images) Skip Bayless is no stranger to stirring controversy, but his latest meltdown might have topped them all. The 73-year-old sports commentator went nuclear after witnessing Tom Brady — a longtime idol of his — publicly praise LeBron James during a live taping of The Shop at Fanatics Fest in New York City. What was meant to be a feel-good moment between two sporting legends quickly turned into Bayless' personal nightmare. Skip Bayless melts down over Tom Brady's praise for LeBron James The exchange that triggered the tirade? Brady called LeBron 'the greatest ever,' adding that the NBA star was a shining example of consistency and class. That was enough to send Bayless into full-blown attack mode. 'Tell me I'm wrong,' Bayless fumed. 'LeBron James just can't help himself... he can't hide that runaway insecurity. Deep down, he knows he'll never be seen as the greatest basketball player ever — at least not by people who actually know the game.' LeBron James Just Can't Help Himself But Bayless wasn't done. He turned his attention toward Brady, and this time, there was no mercy. 'What a sellout Tom Brady has become post-football,' he snapped. 'On the field, greatest clutch competitor ever. Off the field? He's saying and doing whatever it takes to polish his good guy image. He's kissing up to LeBron on stage like he's trying to land a Netflix buddy comedy deal.' The scathing criticism didn't stop there. Bayless suggested that Brady's flattery wasn't heartfelt — it was calculated. 'Tom knows how many billions of followers LeBron has. He knows what a financial alliance with the King could mean. So there he is, saying, 'You're witnessing the greatest ever,' like he's auditioning for a lifetime supply of Nike stock options.' For longtime followers of Bayless, his disdain for LeBron James is nothing new. He's been vocal for years about his belief that Michael Jordan will always hold the title of the GOAT. But the shocker here wasn't just another anti-LeBron rant — it was the brutal takedown of Brady, a player Bayless has supported relentlessly for nearly two decades. To see his football idol publicly support the NBA star he has spent years dismantling clearly hit a nerve. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Bayless emphasized, 'LeBron James just can't help himself. He just can't hide his runaway insecurity… and yeah, I know that over the weekend Tom Brady called LeBron James the greatest ever… What a sellout Tom Brady has become post-football.' Perhaps this moment is less about Brady or LeBron, and more about Bayless struggling with his heroes evolving in ways he can't control. At the end of the day, two sports icons shared mutual respect — but all Skip saw was betrayal. And maybe what Skip Bayless really needs now isn't another argument — just a break from The Shop.
