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.

Remember Karisma Kapoor's sister in Coolie No 1? Worked with Govinda, Salman Khan, suddenly disappeared after few films, is now..., her name is...
Remember Karisma Kapoor's sister in Coolie No 1? Worked with Govinda, Salman Khan, suddenly disappeared after few films, is now..., her name is... 90s Actress Kanchan became a prominent name in Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam industries. She rose to fame after appearing alongside Karsima Kapoor and Govinda in Coolie No 1 . Released in 1995, the film became a major box office success and turned a cult classic in Hindi cinema's history. Kanchan played Karisma's younger sister in the film, and is still remembered for her outstanding performance in romantic comedy drama. She won hearts with her on-screen persona, and later collaborated with other stars such as Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. Despite this, she failed to sustain longer in Bollywood. Why Kanchan failed to grab success in Bollywood? Kanchan was a well-know name in the industry, and also starred in hit films like Sanam Bewafa, Kranti Kshetra, Jumana and Paandav . She starred as a lead actress opposite Akshay Kumar in Amaanat , but the film failed to become a success, and couldn't save her career. Her innocence won audiences hearts, but gradually she lost her charm in the industry. According to reports, the superstardom of other actresses like Karisma Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi overshadowed her work, and she was unable to get more films in the industry. Where is Kanchan now? In the 90s, film producers and directors were majorly in search of bold actresses, instead of sweet and simple. Due to this, Kanchan's career destroyed, and she gradually faded from the limelight. She even tried her hands in the South cinema after not getting work in Bollywood. Kanchan worked in a Malayalam film Gandharvam, opposite superstar Mohanlal. The film became a huge hit at the box office. She also starred in Ajith Kumar's debut film Pustakam. Thereafter, Kanchan was seen in many popular South films, but still that couldn't help her survive. She slowly moved away from that industry as well, despite achieving considerable success. Today, no one knows about her whereabouts. Kanchan's career is a sobering example that how actors get easily replaced, despite their best efforts to sustain longer in the industry.
