Kannappa box office Day 1: Vishnu Manchu's film outperforms Maa, F1 in India
Telugu devotional film, 'Kannappa', opened on a solid note at the domestic box office upon its release on June 27. The film has surpassed the Day 1 collection of Kajol's horror drama 'Maa', and Brad Pitt's 'F1' at the box office in India. 'Kannappa' is a film based on the legend of Kannappa, a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva.According to the tracking website, Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 9 crore nett at the domestic box office. While this isn't a huge number to start the theatrical run with, the film has been clocking in excellent occupancy in theatres. 'Kannappa' is expected to see an incline in numbers during the weekends.advertisementKajol's 'Maa' minted Rs 4.50 crore, half of what 'Kannappa' did on its first day at the box office. Brad Pitt's much-anticipated 'F1' collected Rs 5.25 crore in India.
India Today reviewer, Sanjay Ponnappa, rated the film 2.5 out 5 stars and wrote, "Kannappa falters when it comes to direction, screenplay, and execution. Director Mukesh Kumar Singh, known for several mythological TV serials, brings the same melodramatic and slightly outdated touch to the film. The story and screenplay, written by Vishnu Manchu himself, add a fictional arc to the devotional tale we all know. Although the arc has interesting ideas, it suffers from poor execution in both writing and direction."Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, 'Kannappa' features an ensemble cast including Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggawarlal and Prabhas in cameo roles. The supporting roles include Mohan Babu, Sarathkumar, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Madhoo, Mukesh Rishi and Raghu Babu.'Kannappa' is jointly produced by AVA Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory.- EndsMust Watch

After Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce break-in scares, Brad Pitt's mansion burglarized amid F1 film tour
In a growing trend that's raising alarms across the entertainment and sports worlds, Brad Pitt has become the latest celebrity victim of a high-stakes home burglary. The break-in at his $5.5 million Los Feliz mansion took place while he was overseas promoting his highly anticipated Formula 1 film, a project he co-produced with Lewis Hamilton. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The timing is especially concerning, mirroring similar incidents involving NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, who were targeted while away on public commitments. Brad Pitt targeted during global movie tour, joins list of burglarized public figures Authorities believe Brad Pitt's public schedule may have been exploited by organized criminals tracking his high-profile appearances during the F1 film's London premiere. As the movie gains international attention for its real-race footage and collaboration with Formula 1 insiders, Pitt's personal security has been compromised. 'It's another example of how public schedules can be weaponized,' a security expert noted, reflecting on the growing risks tied to celebrity visibility. Pitt's home invasion follows a string of similar incidents targeting athletes and A-list celebrities. NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes had his home intruded upon earlier this year, and , fresh off a Super Bowl win and in the global spotlight thanks to his relationship with Taylor Swift, has also faced multiple privacy breaches. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce may offer Brad Pitt security insights amid rising celebrity break-ins Given their shared experiences, Mahomes and Kelce could serve as valuable resources for Pitt. The Chiefs tight end has publicly discussed beefing up his home security with private teams and smart surveillance systems, particularly since dating Swift. Kelce's proactive steps may now become a model for others navigating fame and personal vulnerability. Mahomes, known for his team-oriented approach both on and off the field, has reportedly leaned on advanced technology and expert consultations after his own home was targeted. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His experience dealing with such a violation might provide Pitt—and other celebrities—practical steps for reclaiming safety and peace of mind. The troubling frequency of these invasions suggests this isn't a random spree—it's a pattern. With celebrities being tracked during press tours, filming schedules, and public appearances, the need for a stronger, more collaborative security framework has never been more urgent. As Pitt increases surveillance around his property and authorities review footage and witness reports, other stars may need to follow suit.
