Kannappa 1st day box office collection: Despite months of anticipation and a star-studded promotional campaign, Vishnu Manchu’s mythological epic Kannappa had a disappointing start at the box office, collecting only around Rs 9 crore (net) in India on its opening day.
For a film of this scale—featuring big names like Akshay Kumar, Prabhas in a special appearance and marketed as a grand visual spectacle—industry expectations were significantly higher. Trade analysts had projected a double-digit debut, especially in the Telugu-speaking regions, but the turnout fell short of the hype.
While Day 1 fell below expectations, all eyes are now on the weekend collections to see if strong word-of-mouth among family audiences can help Kannappa recover. The film may still find its footing in the coming days, especially with no major Telugu releases competing directly this week.
The film stars Vishnu Manchu in the title role, with an ensemble cast of, Preity Mukhundhan, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo in supporting roles.
