Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa To Release On OTT? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Vishnu Manchu had earlier said that the movie's OTT rights had yet to be sold. Kannappa, a mythological drama produced by actor Vishnu Manchu, was released in theatres on June 27. The film starring Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal and Vishnu himself, has received a lot of appreciation for its gripping story. In the midst of enormous buzz around the picture, reports suggest that just after 4 weeks since its release, the movie is likely to start streaming on OTT. According to 123Telugu, Kannappa, starring Vishnu Manchu, will be released on Amazon Prime Video on July 25. If the claim is correct, the movie will be available on digital platforms less than a month after its theatrical premiere as opposed to what Vishnu Manchu has earlier stated. During a pre-release event, Vishnu Manchu made it clear that the film will not be available on any streaming platform immediately. Vishnu revealed that the film's OTT rights had yet to be sold, which is a deliberate decision that would allow the film to have a longer theatrical run without the constraints of its OTT release date. Vishnu said, 'I have a very large freedom; my movie will not come to OTT before 10 weeks. That is the deal I have, and by God's grace, I don't have any release pressure. My only intention is to showcase the best to the audience," as quoted by India Today. The movie features an amazing cast and noteworthy cameos. Vishnu Machu portrays a valiant warrior who transforms into Lord Shiva's devoted servant, Bhaktha Kannappa. Akshay Kumar plays Lord Shiva, Prabhas portrays Rudra, while Mohanlal delivers a stunning performance as Kirata. Kannappa tells the story of Thinnadu, a young, ferocious tribal hunter who is atheist. However, one day, the man uncovers a Shiva Lingam in the forest that changes the course of his life. The film was produced by Twenty-Four Frames Factory and AVA Entertainment. Kannappa, which has been released in five languages (Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi), provides a visually magnificent and emotionally profound spectacle about devotion and mythology.

Kamika Ekadashi 2025: Know the date, timings, vrat katha, and significance
Kamika Ekadashi 2025: Ekadashi is regarded as one of the significant days in Hinduism. On this day, devotees engage in worship and observe a fast dedicated to Lord Vishnu to receive his blessings. The word 'Kamika' implies 'fulfilling desires'; therefore, Kamika Ekadashi falls on the eleventh day (Ekadashi tithi) of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon) in the sacred Hindu month of Shravana, which corresponds to July-August, according to the Gregorian calendar. This is the first Ekadashi after Devshayani Ekadashi, and those who worship Lord Vishnu with genuine devotion on this day are blessed with peace, happiness, prosperity, and salvation. Kamika Ekadashi is being observed today, Monday, 21 July 2025. The Ekadashi Tithi commenced at 12:12 PM on the previous day and concludes today at 09:38 AM. Ekadashi Parana, which signifies breaking the fast, is performed after sunrise on the next day of the Ekadashi fast. Parana must be performed throughout Dwadashi Tithi unless Dwadashi ends before sunrise. According to Drik Panchang, the Parana Day Dwadashi ends at 07:05 AM on July 22nd, while the timings for Kamika Ekadashi are from 05:52 AM to 07:05 AM. The significance of the Kamika Ekadashi Vrat Katha is that Lord Shri Hari is supreme and is effortlessly pleased with his devotees' real devotion when they offer Tulasidala, i.e., Tulasi leaves, which Lord Vishnu values more than diamonds, pearls, gold, and silver. The Kamika Ekadashi Vrat Katha is associated with Bhishma Pitamaha and Devarshi Narada; at his request, Bhishma Pitamaha describes the meaning of Kamika Ekadashi in this narrative. To read the whole vrat katha of Kamika Ekadashi, follow the link and read it on Jansatta or Drik Panchang. On this auspicious day, devotees should get up early and bathe before sunrise, followed by cleaning their home with Gangajal. This day is ideal for seeking blessings at the Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi temples or home, and offering flowers, panchamrit, bhog (kheer, fruits, and dried fruits), while reciting Vishnu Sahasranama, Vishnu Stotra, Geeta, followed by Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi Aarti.
