Vishnu Manchu and his wife Viranica Reddy, along with Prabhudheva and producer Mohan Babu, made quite the impression during their stunning appearances at Cannes 2024. The occasion marks the release of the teaser of Manchu's upcoming movie, 'Kannappa', which is set to take place at the Olympia theatre on the French Riviera. The film boasts an impressive cast, featuring Prabhas and Akshay Kumar in pivotal roles.
Vishnu Manchu looked debonair in a tuxedo suit designed by Atelier Viranica, complete with a bow tie, while his wife Viranica looked gorgeous in a white shirt layered with a printed long skirt. Prabhudheva and Mohan Babu, too, wore similar black tuxedos.
The South Indian stars were also present for the premiere of 'Horizon: An American Saga,' starring Kevin Costner and Sienna Miller. Adding to the excitement of the evening was Manchu's first look from 'Kannappa,' which was unveiled on the occasion of Maha Shivratri in March and received a positive response.
In 'Kannappa,' Vishnu Manchu portrays 'Kannappa,' the greatest devotee of Lord Shiva, in a period film directed by Mukesh Singh. The story is co-written by Paruchuri Gopalakrishna, Burra Sai Madhav, and Thota Prasad. While the cast features an array of talented actors, including Mohan Babu and Prabhudheva, initially Nupur Sanon was cast as the female lead but had to withdraw due to delays and date issues.
Produced by Ava Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory, the music for 'Kannappa' will be composed by Mani Sharma and Stephen Devasi, adding to the excitement surrounding the film. Overall, 'Kannappa' promises to be a riveting cinematic experience, leaving audiences eagerly awaiting its release.
