Shaheer Shaikh Reviews Director Mukesh Kumar Singh's Kannappa, Says 'Proud Of You'
Shaheer Shaikh took to his Instagram story to express his admiration for Kannappa, helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. Kannappa, the Vishnu Manchu starrer mythological drama, was released on June 27, with high expectations. While the film is receiving mixed reviews on social media, television actor Shaheer Shaikh took to his Instagram story to share admiration for the movie and its director, Mukesh Kumar Singh. In a wholesome post, the actor shared a clip of himself watching the film, accompanied by a glowing caption that praised the director's work. In a touching Instagram story, Shaheer Shaikh shared his excitement about watching Kannappa, posting a video featuring the film's title screen with intricate visuals. His enthusiasm was palpable as he wrote, 'Finally watching Kannappa." What followed was a touching gesture of appreciation for the director, Mukesh Kumar Singh, with Shaheer expressing his pride, saying, 'Proud of you, Mukesh sir." This sincere message conveyed his admiration for the director's work, showcasing Shaheer's genuine support for the film. About Kannappa The mythological drama Kannappa, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, has made a significant impact at the box office since its release in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. With the Telugu version leading the charge, the film has garnered attention for its star-studded cameos, featuring industry heavyweights like Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar and Kajal Aggarwal. The ensemble cast, comprising seasoned actors like Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Madhoo and Preity Mukhundhan, adds depth and richness to the narrative. Kannappa tells the inspiring story of Thinnadu, a tribal hunter who transforms into the revered Shiva devotee Kannappa. The movie chronicles his remarkable journey from an atheist to one of Lord Shiva's most devoted followers, showcasing his unwavering dedication and ultimate sacrifice. Interestingly, Vishnu Manchu recently revealed at a press conference in Hyderabad that some exceptional scenes had to be cut from the film due to subpar visual effects (VFX). Despite this setback, Kannappa has achieved significant success, becoming Vishnu's highest-grossing film to date. This is a notable turnaround, considering his previous films, Ginna and Mosagallu, struggled to cross the Rs 1 crore mark. On Shaheer Sheikh's work front, the actor was last seen in Do Patti alongside Kriti Sanon in the lead, where he played the role of an abusive husband named Dhruv Sood. First Published:

The newlyweds dropped a $20K+ vlog that looks like a Netflix original with ocean views, private villas, and serious luxury energy. And while fans were expecting a full travel documentary, what they got was even more relatable: a glam glimpse of what real luxury looks like, through Leanna's eyes. Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee just soft-launched their honeymoon villa and it's a whole vibe The vlog opens with the couple boarding their flight, think matching travel fits and excited honeymoon energy before cutting to scenic arrival shots and a walkthrough of their stunning beachfront villa in Turks and Caicos.

Leanna takes fans on a full room-by-room tour, showing off the private pool, lush decor, balcony views, and all the tropical opulence that $20K buys you on a honeymoon. No over-the-top acting. No scripted drama. Just two newlyweds soaking it all in with an aesthetic filter, of course. Leanna and Travis are building a lifestyle brand, one vlog at a time While Travis Hunter may be a rookie star for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Leanna is often the subject of viral headlines (some sweet, some messy), their vlogs are shifting the narrative. Together, they're building a lifestyle brand that merges football fame with content creator realness. Travis Hunter & Leanna Reveal Their Bridesmaids and Groomsmen (Wedding Series EP. 1) Their YouTube channel, Travis and Leanna, has evolved from pre-wedding videos to high-end travel content, and this vlog feels like their most polished production yet. It's all part of their vibe, young love, luxury, and a little bit of real life in the mix. Some are loving Leanna's role as the narrator and tour guide of the trip, while others are pointing out how real the video feels not over-edited, not too flashy, just high-budget vibes with personal energy. From a Super Bowl-level proposal vibe to now a full-on luxury honeymoon vlog, Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee are definitely giving main-character energy.
