Frustrated Prabhas fan wants to sue Vishnu Manchu after watching Kannappa: ‘Where is Shiva, why are you showing heroism'
Mukesh Kumar Singh's Vishnu Manchu-starrer Kannappa was released in theatres on Friday to mixed reviews. The film received criticism for its first half, while most people on X (formerly Twitter) seem to have liked the second half. However, a frustrated Prabhas fan who spoke to IndiaGlitz wants to sue Vishnu after watching the film. (Also Read: Kannappa Twitter reviews: Vishnu Manchu's film has 'worst VFX since Adipurush' but movie 'peaks' with Prabhas' entry) Prabhas plays Rudra in Vishnu Manchu's devotional film Kannappa. In a video uploaded by the website, the Prabhas fan can be seen fuming after watching Kannappa. He said, 'I will file a case against him (Vishnu) for giving false information. What did he say in the press? Where is Shiva in the first half? I am a Prabhas fan, and I came here after watching the Bhakta Kannappa movie.' His biggest gripe, however, seemed to be that Kannappa wasn't like the 1976 film Bhakta Kannappa, which starred Prabhas' uncle Krishnam Raju. He said, 'His family gave you the rights to make this film. If it's your dream project, you can't change the film however you want. He gave false information in the trailer and in the press. When you promoted the movie as Bhakta Kannappa, why are you showing your heroism? Show the devotion instead. We came for Prabhas and watched him for 20 minutes in the second half; that's enough.' Even as the fan raged, another person pointed out in the video that they weren't even a fan of Vishnu, but that the film was good. One person commented under the video, 'Babu disclaimer chudakunda cinema ni elaa tappu battaali ane pani lo unnattunnaadu!! @themohanbabu antha base voice lo cheppaaru ga, Bhakta Kannappa story ni research chesi dani aadharam tho rasukunna kalpitha kadha ani. (You are just looking for fault without paying attention to the disclaimer. Mohan Babu says at the beginning of the film that they researched the story of Bhakta Kannappa and made this fictional film)' About Kannappa Kannappa is a devotional film based on the legend of Bhakta Kannappa, a devotee of Lord Shiva.

Mohanlal and Prabhas yelled at Vishnu Manchu when he asked about their fee for 'Kannappa': ‘Even threatened to kill me…'
Vishnu Manchu is gearing up for the release of the mythological drama 'Kannappa', which is set for a theatrical release on June 27. He had earlier revealed that both Mohanlal and Prabhas did not charge any fee for the movie. Vishnu has now shared the reaction of both Prabhas and Mohanlal when asked about their remuneration. Vishnu about Mohanlal and Prabhas doing the movie without remuneration Kannappa - Official Hindi Teaser In a recent conversation with The Indian Express, Vishnu explained that he needed actors who could bring business to such a big-budget movie. He approached both Mohanlal and Prabhas due to their wide-reaching fan base. Vishnu recalled his first conversation with Mohanlal, who did not even think twice before saying yes to Kannappa. 'He agreed purely out of love and respect for my father, Mohan Babu . He didn't have to do a small role in my film, but he said yes instantly,' he shared. Prabhas also didn't hesitate for a moment when Vishnu approached him for support. 'Prabhas is not just a superstar in India — he's a global name now. But when I told him I needed his help for wider reach, he immediately agreed. He didn't even ask what the role was. He just said, 'I'm in,'' he revealed. Vishnu also stated that both actors consistently declined any form of payment for their participation. In fact, each time he tried to discuss compensation, their responses were firm — and even emotional. 'They would yell at me! Mohanlal said, 'You grew up around me and now you're offering me money?' Prabhas even threatened to kill me if I ever mentioned fees again.' Vishnu admitted that Akshay Kumar also charged far less than his usual pay scale for the film.
