Vishnu Manchu Reveals Rajinikanth’s Reaction
Vishnu Manchu took to social media to share a heartfelt moment from his career, describing it as one of the most unforgettable experiences he’s had as an actor. “Last night, Rajinikanth uncle watched Kannappa. After the screening, he gave me a tight hug and said he loved the film. I’ve waited 22 years for that hug as an actor! Today, I feel encouraged, humbled, and grateful,” he wrote.
Audience Verdict: Hit or Flop?
So, is Kannappa a hit or a flop? The answer depends on who you ask. Social media is split into two camps: those moved by its devotional core and climactic highs, and those frustrated by its uneven pacing and technical shortcomings. On X, fans celebrated it as “a celebration of faith and sacrifice,” with ratings ranging from 3 to 4 out of 5. However, detractors gave it as low as 1/5, calling it a “disaster” despite the starry cameos. Early box office estimates suggest a modest opening of ₹4.89 crore, failing to crack Tollywood’s top 5 openers of 2025, which tempers its “blockbuster” claims.
Critically, the film averages a 3/5 rating across sources like 123telugu.com and News18, praised for its emotional depth and star power but critiqued for its inconsistent writing and VFX. Sakshi echoed this, highlighting Manchu’s performance and the second half’s intensity but noting the first half’s sluggishness. For fans of mythology and Shiva devotees, it’s a heartfelt journey; for those seeking a polished cinematic experience, it falls short.
