Kannappa box office collection day 3: Prabhas, Akshay Kumar cameos can't save Vishnu Manchu's film; fails to outpace Dhanush's Kuberaa, earns less than HanuMan
Kannappa box office collection day 3: After giving Vishnu Manchu the biggest opening of his career, his latest mythological film Kannappa saw a fall in its collection over the weekend. According to Sacnilk, the film minted Rs 7.25 crore on Sunday, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 23.75 crore.
With strong cameos by superstars like Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, and Prabhas, the anticipation around the release of Kannappa was very high. On its opening day, Friday, it raked in Rs 9.35 crore. During its first weekend — when films usually soar and establish a strong box office base — Kannappa saw a 23 percent drop in its collection on Saturday, earning Rs 7.15 crore. The film maintained the same momentum on Sunday and minted Rs 7.25 crore.
Despite releasing in multiple languages, Kannappa has been performing best in the Telugu region. It had an overall 39.93% Telugu occupancy on Sunday, higher than other versions. The Tamil version recorded 24.11% occupancy, the Hindi version stood at 22.71%, and Malayalam occupancy was 5.82%.
Telugu cinema has been on fire with Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa and Dhanush's Kuberaa releasing just a week apart. While the multi-starrer Kannappa hit theatres on June 27, Dhanush's crime thriller arrived on June 20. However, Kannappa hasn't been able to outpace Kuberaa. If we compare the performance of the first three days of release, Kuberaa minted Rs 48.6 crore, whereas Kannappa has managed to collect Rs 23.75 crore in the same time period.
The last mythological Telugu film that made a mark and surprised audiences by outperforming big-budget films with star power — like Mahesh Babu's Guntur Kaaram, Venkatesh's Saindhav, and Nagarjuna's Naa Saami Ranga — was Teja Sajja's HanuMan, which had collected Rs 24.65 crore within the first three days of release, slightly more than Kannappa. HanuMan went on to mint over Rs 200 crore in the domestic market.
Coming back to Kannappa, the film is based on the legend of Kannappa, a devotee of Lord Shiva. It also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Preity Mukhundhan, Mohan Babu, R Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo in key roles. It is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by AVA Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory.
