After a delay in its release due to pending VFX work, Kannappa is all set to hit the big screen on June 27. In an exclusive conversation with CNN-News18 Showsha's Titas Chowdhury, lead actor Vishnu Manchu talks about putting this heavy-budget film together, how he managed to convince Akshay Kumar to play Lord Shiva and how Mohanlal and Prabhas came onboard only because of their love for his dad, Mohan Babu. Vishnu further shares his stance on being a nepo kid, the struggles they face and turning down a Bollywood offer. He also shares his admiration for Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava and Rishab Shetty's Kantara and takes pride in SS Rajamouli's Telugu roots despite him being known as an 'Indian' filmcreater in the West. bollywood news | entertainment news live | latest bollywood news | bollywood | news18 | n18oc_moviesLiked the video?
