Tollywood actor Vishnu Manchu has been receiving a lot of praise for his performance in "Kannappa". Now, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma also expressed his admiration for the actor through a heartfelt WhatsApp message. 

The message shared by Manchu on his X (Earlier known as Twitter) timeline started off with an admission of RGV's disinterest in mythological movies. "To start with I am not into both gods and devotees, and because of that I will never ever see a film which deals with such subject matter," he wrote.

Next, the filmmaker recalled watching the original film four times during his college days. "I saw it for the hero, heroine, and songs, and not for the subject," he explained.
