Lord Shiva Gave The Order…

The makers of Kannappa, which has been produced by well-known actor Mohan Babu, have revealed that they shot Kannappa on the order given by Lord Shiva.

“We made this movie on the command of Lord Parameshwara. First, we spoke to Krishnam Raju garu for Kannappa. He suggested taking Kannappa for Vishnu, and Krishnam Raju also gave the story written for Prabhas. Not just me as a producer, but the entire team needs the blessings of all the people,” Mohan Babu said.

Shot In Newzeland

Vishnu Manchu, who plays the titular role of Kannappa, said, “I was able to bring Kannappa to the screen because of the encouragement given by my God, my father Mohan Babu, Vinni, and brother Vinay. The team was not set, but I started hunting for locations. I prepared everything to start production,” he said, adding that the previous year, Lord Shiva had granted permission. The actor also disclosed that they began the film's shoot after receiving permission from Lord Shiva.

He further shared that since Kannappa’s story is set in the second century, they shot the film in New Zealand to match that period.

“We didn’t think about the budget; we moved forward with the belief that we are making a film that will go down in history,” he said.
