Kannappa Box Office Collection Day 1: Vishnu Manchu's Film Roars With Rs 9 Crore
Last Updated:
Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa, featuring cameos by Akshay Kumar and Prabhas, earned Rs 9 crore nett across India on its opening day.
Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa may not have opened to record-breaking numbers, but it sure made enough noise on day one. Seems like the cameos by Akshay Kumar and Prabhas worked in its favour. The Telugu mythological action drama hit theatres on Friday and, as per early estimates by Sacnilk.com, earned Rs 9 crore nett across India.
According to the report, Kannappa saw varied occupancy rates across regions on Friday—16.45 per cent in Tamil, 55.89 per cent in Telugu, 14.56 per cent in Hindi, 13.81 per cent in Kannada, and 7.20 per cent in Malayalam. While the film collected Rs 9 crore on its opening day, it still outperformed Kajol's Maa, which earned Rs 4.50 crore. In fact, Kannappa made nearly double of what Maa did, as per data from Sacnilk.com.
Maa also hit theatres on Friday, marking Kajol's much-awaited return to the big screen after a three-year break. Directed by Vishal Furia, the mythological horror thriller is produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, with Kumar Mangat Pathak serving as co-producer.
A review by News18 of Kannappa read, 'The whole sequence and the visual effects are superbly done, an example of how far our cinema has evolved technologically. Back in the day, the same scene would've involved golden cardboard arrows moving at less than 24 frames per second. One arrow would spew fire, the opponent's would quench it with water. If one turned into a snake, the other would become its predator, an eagle. Mukesh Kumar Singh's Kannappa isn't weighed down by such age-old silliness. Here, the fight sequences and visuals look rich. However, if one were to read out the dialogues of Kannappa and any devotional film from the past one after the other, it would be hard to discern which is from 2025 and which is not."
Kannappa is a 2025 Indian Telugu-language mythological devotional film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The story, written by Vishnu Manchu—who also plays the titular role—is inspired by the legend of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva in Hindu mythology. The film is produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu and features a star-studded ensemble cast including Preity Mukhundhan, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo in key supporting roles.

Naga Chaitanya Reveals His Sacred Weekend Ritual With Wife Sobhita Dhulipala
Last Updated: On Sunday, the couple either watch a film, take a stroll, or order their favourite food. Telugu star Naga Chaitanya recently shared insights into his married life with actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The actor shared that when they are both in Hyderabad, they make it a point to have breakfast and dinner together. On Sundays, the couple spends some quality time while watching a film, taking a stroll, or ordering their favourite food. In an interview with Man's World, Naga Chaitanya shared that they take turns planning vacations. 'She's into reading, I'm into racing. But we're both creative people. We take turns planning holidays. One time it's her lead, the next time it's mine," the actor said. Naga Chaitanya recalled the time when he taught Sobhita how to drive on a racetrack. He shared that 'once she started driving, she didn't want to stop". When asked which person he admires the most, the actor said, 'My dad and my mom and I put my wife as number three". Naga Chaitanya is the son of Telugu star Nagarjuna and Lakshmi Daggubati. Last month, rumours about Sobhita Dhulipala's pregnancy started circulating online. The buzz began after the actress attended the WAVES 2025 event in Mumbai, draped in a saree that many speculated was strategically styled to hide a baby bump. A family insider soon put the rumours to rest. In a quote to ETimes, the source said, 'She wore anti-fit, not maternity. It's amazing how a change in silhouette can birth a whole new storyline." Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala's love story began with a fan question during one of Sobhita's Instagram AMAs. The actress realised Naga Chaitanya was following her and returned the favour. That moment led to DMs, frequent conversations and eventually, love. 'There was no mic drop. It just happened very organically," Sobhita shared with Vogue. After two years of romance, the couple got engaged in Hyderabad on August 8, 2024. They tied the knot on December 4 at Annapurna Studios in the presence of their close friends and family. Their union came three years after Naga Chaitanya's split from Samantha Ruth Prabhu. First Published:
