Vishnu Manchu reveals why he chose a Bollywood director for Kannappa

During a press meet, Vishnu shared that no Tollywood director wanted to make Kannappa owing to the actor's previous flop streak. So, he approached a debutante director working in the Hindi film industry to make a film in the Telugu language. Kannappa marks Mukesh Kumar Singh's big-screen debut as a director. Prior to this, he had directed the popular Star Plus adaptation of Mahabharat.

“You (media) very well know that no director from Tollywood would be willing to work with me if I approached them with the Kannappa script. Also, my last few films didn’t perform well. Mukesh Kumar Singh brilliantly handled a show based on an Indian epic. Despite Kannappa being his debut feature film as a director, I entrusted him with the responsibility. He is a hidden gem, and I want to bring such talent to the forefront,” Vishnu shared.

The film is based on the story of the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva.
