Unlike the past comedy films for which Sunil is known for, he is attempting new with ‘Bhakta Kannappa.’ This is a life time opportunity for Sunil because the devotional title doesn’t imply to the old classic done by Krishnam Raju. In fact, this Kannappa is a pure love story to be directed by Tanikella Bharani. The versatile artist has earlier directed ‘Mithunam’ and this is his second outing as a director.
As per media reports, ‘Bhakta Kannappa’ is all set to go on floors in the second week of May and all the details are kept confidential. Sunil plays a tribal character and he will have a well known heroine as romantic pair. Lastly Sunil was seen in ‘Bheemavaram Bullodu,’ an out and out mass comedy film which fared just average. So, it’s time for Sunil to come back strongly and Tanikella is providing him the right platform.
