All eyes are on the recently released Telugu film Kannappa, which features some of the most exciting cameos by Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal and more. The movie hit the big screens on June 27 and within a day, there have been strong positive reviews about it.
And now, Vishnu Manchu has shared a special message that he received from fellow filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma.
Ram Gopal Varma's message for Vishnu Manchu
Taking to X, Vishnu Manchu shared a screenshot of the recent message that he received from Ram Gopal Varma after the release of his film Kannappa.
The director clearly mentioned how he is not a believer in the idea of Gods and devotees and so he would never see any film dealing with these as a subject matter. But in the case of Kannappa it was different.
Lauding Vishnu's performance as Thinnadu, RGV wrote, 'As Thinnadu, you didn't just act but you embodied a temple of faith like a high priest wielding a ferocity that left me speechless.'
RGV lauds Vishnu Manchu's stint amid hype for Prabhas' cameo
While fans are all praises for Prabhas' cameo appearance in the film as Rudra, for Ram Gopal Varma, it is not enough reason to see Kannappa in theaters. The filmmaker towards the concluding part of his message mentioned how he would book a ticket and watch the film only because he wants to see Vishnu Manchu on-screen.
He wrote, 'All in all people might be coming into the theater for Prabhas, but now I am going to buy a ticket in the theater to see you.'
Kannappa box office collection so far
Speaking about Kannappa's box office collections, it made a big opening day mark by grossing Rs. 11 crore in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
While the star power seems to be the driving force behind the film's success, it is expected to make a significant mark in the coming days.

Maa Day 2 Box Office: Kajol starrer shows healthy 30 percent growth to net Rs 6.25 crore on Saturday; Will it emerge a success?
Maa directed by Vishal Furia and starring Kajol, Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta and a bunch of other actors, grew by around 30 percent on day 2, to net Rs 6 - 6.50 crore net. The growth is healthy and while there was scope for better growth, this is pretty acceptable since the movie, in the first place, was not a non-starter. Also, the movie was slightly aided by discount offers on the first day, so the 30 percent growth on Saturday starts looking a lot better. Maa Nets Rs 6.25 Crore On Day 2; 2 Day Total Stands At Rs 11 Crore Clubbed with Rs 4.75 crore net on day 1, the two day total of Maa stands at Rs 11 crore. The Sunday number should be in the Rs 6.75 - 7 crore vicinity, for a Rs 17.75 - 18 crore net India weekend. These collections should be seen very positively since there are coming amidst stiff competition from F1 and Sitaare Zameen Par. Despite being the lowest grosser of the three this weekend, it is the best performer in mass circuits. The presence of Kajol, along with the lucrativeness of the supernatural genre and the connection to Shaitaan, seems to have served the film well. The Day Wise Net India Collections Of Maa In India Are As Under Maa Faces Stiff Competition At The Box Office Next Week After the weekend, it will be very crucial for Maa to hold strong. This is because the film based on Kali Maa faces two new rivals next week in the form of Metro... In Dino and Jurassic World Rebirth. The new rivals, along with the strong holdovers are surely going to try and squeeze it, and the only way to avoid it is to keep getting audiences. The support from the mass belts will be more crucial because the Kajol movie is more preferred than its competing releases this week, making it have the upper hand when it comes to showcasing next week.
