&nbsp;Kannappa on the lines of Lord of The Rings. Manchu Vishnu is coming to spellbound movie lovers with his spiritual entertainer Kannappa. The film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh is progressing at a brisk pace. The makers will be releasing the first look of Akshay Kumar who is playing the Lord Shiva today.

In the meantime, Manchu Vishnu who is producing the film, speaking to scribes, compared Kannappa to Hollywood blockbuster Lord of The Rings. He said&nbsp; &ldquo;We did manage to shoot everything on time. And if I had to go back, I'd probably save another 10-15% of everybody's time, money, and energy. This is probably an expensive learning curve for me, but thanks to everyone's cooperation, from the carpenters to the set department, set helpers, etc., we did it. About 600 crew members were there, and 197 people from Thailand were working on set. I'm really thankful to everyone for coming and spending close to five months there and giving their time and energy to the film. At one point, we also used about 200 local Maori people and crew. Maori culture and our culture are very similar; some are like family to me now.&rdquo;

He revealed &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve seen the Telugu version of the 1976 film Bhakta Kannappa many times and in 2015, when director Tanikella Bharani told me the story he had, I was keen. We worked on the script for several months, after which he said he wasn&rsquo;t the right guy to direct this film as my vision was to produce it on a large, lavish scale. He was more comfortable making smaller films. So, I bought the rights to the film and decided to produce it. I loved Lord of The Rings (LOTR), and I was wondering if I could incorporate the story I grew up with and the LOTR outlook.&rdquo;

Kannappa stars Mohan Babu, B-Town&rsquo;s Akshay Kumar, Mollywood star Mohanlal, Prabhas, Sarathkumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Preity Mukundhan and Brahmanandam in important roles and is slated for a grand release on 25 March 2025.&nbsp;
