End Of Manchu Vishnu’s Career: When Kannappa was announced, hopes ran high- largely due to the reason that the budget did too. A mythological saga with Manchu Vishnu starring, complemented by heavy aggressions in terms of promotions and declarations made to the gods, set to be the next pan-Indian extravaganza. Alas, what the viewers received was a VFX-infused crash course on how ambition without action can cause movie mayhem.

Kannappa: The End Of Manchu Vishnu’s Career

From subpar CGI to inadvertently funny battle scenes, Kannappa left people more bemused than believer. While its thematic exercise is spiritual, the movie lacked both the bhakti and the box office blessings. The consequence? A mythological misfire that couldn’t even myth itself into mediocrity.

And just as Vishnu’s dream venture tanked, destiny presented an poetic turn of events. Here’s Mirai; a sci-fi superhero movie starring Teja Sajja in the lead and none other than Manchu Manoj (yes, Vishnu’s very own brother) as a show-stealing villain. With glossy visuals, razor-sharp direction, and a mass appeal narrative, Mirai flew past ₹100 crore, leaving Kannappa gasping for divine dust.

Balancing The Karma?

It’s as if the film Gods resolved to balance the karma of the Manchu family-one brother rises and the other crashes.

Fair enough, Vishnu gave his best shot to Kannappa: from dramatic monologues to unflinching stares for longer durations than most viewers stayed in their seats. But let’s get real- cinema has evolved, and audiences cannot be swayed anymore by dated storytelling glossed in costly packaging.

Manchu Manoj Era?

So, is this the final curtain on Vishnu’s leading-man act? Perhaps not. But the public has definitely spoken- with their silence and their box office cash; and for now, they are saying: “Mirai looks better.”

In the meantime, all the best. perhaps next time, in a role that doesn’t include divinity, fate, or defying common sense.
