What remuneration Prabhas is receiving for Kannappa. Manchu Vishnu's ambitious dream project, "Kannappa," a periodical action film based on real events in Srikalahasti, is generating immense buzz. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh Kannappa, who is known for his Hindi mythological serials, the film is being produced by Manchu Mohan Babu on a massive budget of over 100 crores.
The film's hype skyrocketed when it was announced that Prabhas would be playing the pivotal role of Nandeeswaru. This special appearance has further fueled anticipation for the film. Adding to the star power, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is also said to be playing a key role.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Malayali superstar Mohanlal, Manchu Mohan Babu himself, and Sarath Kumar.
Prabhas, who is currently shooting for "Kannappa," is said to have dedicated only three days of call sheets for the film. The film unit recently released a poster featuring Prabhas' character, showcasing him walking without revealing his look. This has sparked speculation about his remuneration, especially given his reported 150 crores per film fee.
However, rumors suggest that Prabhas may not be taking any remuneration at all. This is attributed to his close friendship with Manchu Mohan Babu, with whom he previously worked in "Bujjigadu." Prabhas also has a good relationship with Manchu Vishnu.
While the film unit is yet to officially confirm the truth behind the no-remuneration rumors, it is clear that Prabhas' involvement is a significant boost for the film.
The "Kannappa" teaser is set to release on May 20th. It remains to be seen whether the teaser will unveil Prabhas' character or keep it as a surprise.
Manchu Vishnu is expected to be seen in a brand new avatar as Kannappa. All eyes are on this highly anticipated film, which promises to deliver a captivating cinematic experience.
