About the film
Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, 'Kannappa' is a visually rich retelling of the legend of Kannappa, an atheist hunter who becomes one of Lord Shiva's most revered devotees, as he even offers his own eyes to Lord Shiva in an act of supreme devotion.
Vishnu
Manchu plays the titular role, while the ensemble cast includes Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Madhoo, Preity Mukhundhan, Mukesh Rishi, Brahmaji, and Brahmanandam in key roles.
Etimes review for the film reads, "Kannappa scores high on visual and musical impact. Sheldon Chau's cinematography captures the beauty of forested landscapes and celestial moments with finesse, giving the film a rich visual texture. Some of the VFX elements fall short of the film's ambition, but the overall sincerity of the production shines through."

Mayasabha Twitter review: Deva Katta's gripping political drama strikes a chord
Mayasabha: The Rise of the Titans, which premiered on SonyLIV on August 7, is already making waves online. Directed by Deva Katta and Kiran Jay Kumar, the Telugu political thriller has earned praise for its gripping narrative, layered characters and compelling performances. Set in the politically charged landscape of 1990s Andhra Pradesh, the series traces the journey of two powerful leaders: Kakarla Krishnama Naidu and Ms Rami Reddy, as their friendship slowly turns into a fierce political rivalry. Aadhi Pinisetty and Chaitanya Rao lead the cast, with the show delving into themes of power, ambition and betrayal. Though Mayasabha opens with a disclaimer denying any resemblance to real-life figures, viewers have drawn parallels with major Andhra politicians like N T Rama Rao, Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, and N Chandrababu Naidu. Soon after its debut, the series began trending on X, with viewers praising its intense storytelling and bold writing. Filmmaker Pavan Sadineni called Mayasabha 'easily one of the best political dramas,' applauding its unapologetically honest approach. 'Brilliantly crafted! As a fictional story, it works to the core… Kudos to Deva Katta for his impeccable direction & writing. Take a bow!' Another viewer wrote, 'Just finished watching Mayasabha. Missed your writing all these days @devakatta. Backed by fiery performances from Aadhi Pinisetty, Chaitanya Rao & others. Brilliant writing, screenplay — must watch.' Some viewers also described the show as a 'nuanced peek into the political evolution of a state,' calling it a must-watch for Telugu audiences. While a few noted that the narrative dips in pace during the middle episodes, they also highlighted how the performances and high-stakes moments bring it back on track. 'It kicks off with a bang… and gets better towards the end,' one user wrote. 'Just completed Mayasabha. Every character has been given importance. I especially liked the portrayal of CBN and YSR. Both gave life to those characters,' a user reviewed.
