According to a Sacnilk report, 'Kannappa' collected approximately Rs 50 lakhs on its ninth day, which was on Saturday, taking the total box office tally to Rs 31.13 crore.

About the film Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, 'Kannappa' is a visually rich retelling of the legend of Kannappa, an atheist hunter who becomes one of Lord Shiva's most revered devotees, as he even offers his own eyes to Lord Shiva in an act of supreme devotion. Vishnu Manchu plays the titular role, while the ensemble cast includes Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Madhoo, Preity Mukhundhan, Mukesh Rishi, Brahmaji, and Brahmanandam in key roles. Etimes review for the film reads, "Kannappa scores high on visual and musical impact. Sheldon Chau's cinematography captures the beauty of forested landscapes and celestial moments with finesse, giving the film a rich visual texture. Some of the VFX elements fall short of the film's ambition, but the overall sincerity of the production shines through."

Aaron Rodgers' family estrangement deepens again as biographer reveals heartbreaking communication breakdown
Aaron Rodgers' strained relationship with his family continues (Getty Images) Aaron Rodgers may be building a new chapter with his wife Brittani, but behind his high-profile life remains a longstanding emotional wound—one that still hasn't healed. The NFL veteran's strained relationship with his family has been one of the sport's most talked-about yet mysterious personal stories. Now, new details have emerged shedding light on how close the Rodgers family came to reconciliation—only to drift apart again. Aaron Rodgers blames family for betrayal and shuts the door on reconciliation In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Rodgers' biographer Ian O'Connor revealed that a brief moment of hope occurred in the fall of 2024. 'In the early fall of 2024, there were a couple of hopeful emails exchanged between Aaron and his parents,' O'Connor said. But that flicker of peace didn't last. 'By the end of the 2024 football season, the tone of their communication had changed and that cautious optimism about a potential reconciliation faded. ' — usweekly (@usweekly) This isn't just a case of a football star avoiding family dinners. O'Connor explained that the estrangement spans over a decade and trickled down to Rodgers' brothers, Luke and Jordan. At the heart of the family fracture was a deep divide over religion and personal values. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription! Techno Mag Learn More Undo Rodgers reportedly never connected with his parents' evangelical faith, which they built their lives around in Chico, California. Instead, his worldview began to evolve during his college years at UC Berkeley. 'Aaron questioned and challenged everything,' O'Connor noted. 'He even questioned the role of his family in his life and came to believe that some family members were laying claim to his fortune and fame.' That belief system led to what O'Connor called 'The Island,' where Rodgers isolates people he feels have violated his trust. 'If you become a perceived obstacle in his path, you will be removed from his life,' he added. A brief moment of hope occurred in 2023 when Aaron saw his father, Ed, at a celebrity golf tournament and told him, 'I love you.' But even that touching gesture wasn't enough to rebuild a bridge. Most tellingly, during a June 2025 interview on ESPN's The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers made it clear where things stood: 'I don't talk to' his family. 'They wouldn't know any information about me.'
