The film also features Preity Mukhundhan, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, and Madhoo, among others.

He shared that over 30,000 piracy links had been taken down. He wrote, "Dear movie lovers, #Kannappa is under attack from piracy. Over 30,000 illegal links have already been taken down. This is heartbreaking. Piracy is theft — plain and simple. We don't teach our children to steal. Watching pirated content is no different. Please don't encourage it. Support cinema the right way. Har Har Mahadev".
