Kannappa box office collection day 1: Vishnu Manchu, Prabhas’ Telugu action drama earns Rs 9 crore

Kannappa box office collection day 1:Kannappa, one of the biggest films of the month, hit the screens on June 27 and opened to a good response at the Indian box office. The film, however, received mixed reviews. Kannappa is a Telugu actioner produced by actor Mohan Babu.


Vishnu Manchu is in the limelight because of his latest release Kannappa, which is now out in theatres. The film is off to a good start at the box office. According to Sacnilk, a trade website, it earned Rs 9 crore (nett) on the first day. A large chunk of this came from the Telugu states.

Kannappa has outperformed Ginna, Vishnu’s last film, by quite a margin. The horror comedy earned Rs 20 lakh on the first and ended up being a flop. Kannappa features cameos from the likes of Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, which worked in its favour.

The flick, however, received mixed reviews with critics lauding the performances but panning the execution. It remains to be seen whether the mediocre word-of-mouth affects the film in the long run.


Kannappa is an action drama that centres on the life of a fierce warrior-turned-devotee of Lord Shiva. Vishnu Manchu plays the lead role in the biggest film of his career. Prabhas appears in a powerful extended cameo, adding star power to the larger-than-life tale.
