Actor Vishnu Manchu’s unwavering devotion took center stage as he fulfilled a heartfelt spiritual promise ahead of his magnum opus, Kannappa' release. With the film set to release on April 25, 2025, Vishnu recently visited Utukuru, Rajampet Mandal in Annamayya district—the birthplace of Kannappa—to offer prayers at the historic Lord Shiva temple, where the legendary devotee once walked.

Since Vishnu is portraying Kannappa, the ultimate Shiva Bhakta, he felt an undeniable calling to pay his respects at this sacred site. Immersed in deep reverence, he bowed his head in prayer, seeking divine blessings for the film’s success. The atmosphere was charged with spiritual energy, making the moment profoundly moving—almost as if Vishnu was connecting with the spirit of Kannappa himself.
