Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa had a good opening weekend. The mythological drama saw a drop in collections on Monday. Early estimates show a collection of Rs 55 lakhs on Day 4. The film earned Rs 9.35 crore on Day 1. Vishnu Manchu credited Prabhas for the film's strong opening. The movie also stars Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal and Mohanlal.

This Friday witnessed a box office clash among Kannappa, F1, and Maa. Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa emerged as the front-runner, grossing Rs 16.35 crore in two days, driven by strong Telugu market support. Brad Pitt’s F1 followed with Rs 14 crore, while Kajol’s Maa lagged behind at Rs 10.65 crore, struggling to gain traction despite the horror genre's popularity.

After a string of box office disappointments, Vishnu Manchu’s passion project Kannappa seems to be turning the tide. Speaking at a 'thank you meet', Vishnu addressed questions about the making of the film, including his honest answer on why a Bollywood director, Mukesh Kumar Singh, was chosen to helm a deeply Telugu-rooted story.
