Kannappa witnessed a sharp drop in collections on Monday. After delivering the best opening numbers in Manchu Vishnu’s career, the devotional film saw a significant decline on its crucial first weekday.
Nevertheless, the film proved beneficial for Vishnu, marking a much-needed comeback with strong initial traction and widespread publicity.
While Kannappa helped reposition Vishnu’s career, its heroine, Preity Mukundhan, received minimal promotion ahead of the release. The film marks her debut in Telugu cinema.
However, her glamorous appearance and bold on-screen presence — highlighted by her confidence in flaunting her looks — caught the attention of younger audiences.
As a result, she has piqued the interest of several filmmakers. Preity Mukundhan is reportedly hoping to secure more glamorous roles in mainstream commercial cinema.
