In a twist straight out of a Telugu potboiler, Manchu Manoj, who has been one of the most vocal critics of his brother Vishnu Manchu, walked into Prasads IMAX on June 27 with family and walked out—stunned and speechless. The reason? ‘Kannappa’, Vishnu’s magnum opus.
Despite the family feud and past allegations—including the infamous hard disk theft drama—Manoj didn’t hold back in his praise. Taking to social media, he hailed the film as “1000 times better than I imagined,” highlighting Prabhas’s Rudra avatar and a goosebump-inducing climax. While he carefully avoided naming Vishnu directly, the praise was loud and clear: the film worked, and how!
Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and backed by the mighty Mohan Babu, Kannappa has stunned skeptics and audiences alike. From stellar cameos by Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, and Kajal, to Stephen Devassy’s spiritual score, the film has delivered on spectacle and soul.
When even your toughest family rival calls your film a masterpiece, you know you’ve done something right. Kannappa isn’t just a film—it’s Vishnu’s cinematic redemption arc, with even Manoj clapping from the front row.
