‘Kannappa’ Now Streaming: Vishnu Manchu’s Epic on OTT

Vishnu Manchu’s mythological drama Kannappa, which has garnered significant attention for its star-studded cast including special appearances by Prabhas and Akshay Kumar, is now available for streaming on OTT. After a theatrical run that began on June 27, 2025, the film has moved to the digital space, allowing a wider audience to experience its epic tale.

You can watch Kannappa on Amazon Prime Video. The film is currently streaming in several South Indian languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. As of now, there is no confirmed information regarding a Hindi version on the platform.

Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by Mohan Babu, Kannappa is a devotional saga based on the legend of the tribal hunter Thinnadu. The story follows his journey from being an atheist to a profound and unwavering devotee of Lord Shiva. Vishnu Manchu takes on the titular role, with the narrative exploring his transformation and ultimate act of sacrifice.

The film’s casting has been a major talking point. In addition to Vishnu Manchu, the movie features Akshay Kumar in the role of Lord Shiva and Kajal Aggarwal as Goddess Parvati. The presence of megastars Prabhas and Mohanlal in impactful cameo roles has also been a significant draw, adding to the film’s grandeur.

While Kannappa received mixed reviews during its time in theaters, with some critics praising the emotional depth and performances, particularly in the second half, the film’s sheer scale and ambition were widely noted. Its digital release on Amazon Prime Video ensures that the mythological story can now reach a vast audience across the country, giving viewers the opportunity to delve into this devotional epic from the comfort of their homes.
