The film also stars Vishnu Manchu, Mohan Babu, Mohanlal, Prabhas, Sharath Kumar, Kajal Agarwal, Akshay Kumar and Prabhas.
The teaser of the film was unveiled last month and boasts of many war sequences, and the use of primitive weapons as Vishnu Manchu’s titular character takes on a band of bandits who are on their way to destroy a village. It also gives a glimpse of Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar in the role of Lord Shiva.
This marks the 2nd film for Akshay Kumar in the role of Lord Shiva after the successful ‘OMG 2’ which was released last year.
The film is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, and combines stunning visuals with a poignant narrative, bringing to life the legendary tale of devotion and sacrifice. It has been shot across New Zealand, and stars a slew of talented artists from across the film industries of India.
The film is based on the story of the legendary Kannappa, who is known as one of the greatest bhakts of Lord Shiva ever.
