The "Kannappa" team descended upon Lucknow to meet Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Leading the delegation were Mohan Babu, Vishnu Manchu, Prabhu Deva, and executive producer Vinay Maheshwari.

In a grand gesture of recognition, a striking poster of "Kannappa" was unveiled in the presence of CM Yogi, revealing that the film will be released worldwide on June 27.

The Chief Minister was also shown a glimpse of the film's making--a behind-the-scenes look at the sheer scale, devotion, and cinematic vision that have gone into bringing the legend of "Kannappa" to life. Moved by what he saw, CM Yogi lauded the team's efforts and emphasized the importance of telling stories rooted in Indian mythology, culture, and devotion.

Talking about the meetup, Vishnu Manchu said, "Meeting Hon'ble CM Yogi Adityanath ji was a moment of immense honour for all of us. As someone who has poured a decade of my life into 'Kannappa', seeing him resonate with the soul of our film was incredibly moving. He understood that 'Kannappa' isn't just a story--it's a cultural resurrection. The fact that he called for more such films to be made and seen affirms the spiritual and cultural power cinema can hold. His words were a reminder that our mythology, our history, our heroes must continue to find their voice on the big screen and be passed down to generations. It is a privilege to have the release date of the film - June 27, unveiled by him."

Slated to release on the 27th of June 2025, "Kannappa" is a historical epic that narrates the story of the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva.

The much-awaited drama will see Vishnu Manchu in the role of Kannappa, along with powerhouse performances by Preity Mukhundhan, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal.

While I appreciate the cultural significance, I hope the film doesn't just rely on star power and actually does justice to the spiritual depth of the original story. The cast is impressive but mythology adaptations need substance over style.

Amazing to see our leaders supporting Indian mythology films! This is exactly the kind of content we need more of. The star cast looks phenomenal - Mohanlal AND Prabhas in the same film? Take my money already! 💫

Vishnu Manchu's dedication to this project for a decade is truly inspiring. Not many actors would commit so deeply to a single role. Hope all that effort translates to an unforgettable cinematic experience!

The behind-the-scenes footage must have been incredible if it moved CM Yogi. Wonder if they'll release that as bonus content? The scale sounds massive - hope the VFX does justice to the divine aspects of the story.
