Vishnu Manchu starrer Kannappa had created a good pre-release buzz. It is the actor's biggest film till date, and it also features some big names from the Indian film industry in cameos like Mohan Babu (Vishnu's father), Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar. When it comes to the box office, the film's advance booking was quite good, but it will be interesting to see whether Kannappa will take a flying start or not.
As per early estimates, it looks like Kannappa on its day one might collect around Rs. 10-12 crore. However, if during the night shows, the movie shows a growth, then the day one collection can be more than Rs. 12 crore.
While Vishnu is a popular name in the Telugu film industry, the presence of Prabhas is expected to give a boost to the movie's collection. When it comes to the Hindi version, there is Akshay Kumar in the film, but it is just a cameo, so we can't expect a bumper opening. Also, in Hindi, Kannappa will face tough competition from Kajol's Maa and Aamir Khan starrer Sitaare Zameen Par.
Kannappa Budget
While the makers have not given the exact figure, reportedly, Kannappa is made on a budget of Rs. 200 crore. So, of course, the film needs to take a good opening, and conitnue to do well at the box office in the coming days.
Kannappa Review
Kannappa is getting mixed reviews from critics and audiences. However, everyone is praising Vishnu Manchu's performance in the movie.
The Free Press Journal's reviewer gave Kannappa 2.5 stars and wrote, "Kannappa has its heart in the right place, and visually, it is a grand, beautiful film. But, the villain of the movie is its runtime and unnecessary romantic scenes and songs. However, this movie is a treat for Vishnu Manchu fans!"
