The Hype Around Kannappa Movie
Kannappa, the most awaited mythological movie of 2024, guaranteed a big-screen experience with top-line VFX, celebrity cameos, and a heart-wrenching tale of love. The movie is inspired by the mythological devotee Kannappa (a hunter who donated his eyes to Lord Shiva), a story well entrenched in Hindu mythology.
Story: A Tale of Extreme Devotion
The film is based on the life of Kannappa (played by Vishnu Manchu), a brutal hunter who turns out to be the greatest devotee of Lord Shiva. Unlike all his devotees, Kannappa’s devotion is raw, untamed, and passionate. His transformation from a tribal warrior to a genuine devotee is the crux of the film.
Key Points
- Kannappa’s history as a hunter who inadvertently worships Lord Shiva in his own manner.
- His blind commitment resulting in excessive sacrifices (such as the famous scene in which he sacrifices his eyes).
- Supernatural interventions, like the appearances of Lord Shiva (Mohanlal) and other divine beings.
- A great battle of good vs. evil, mixing mythology and cinema drama.
