The filmmaking journey to New Zealand, embarked upon by Vishnu Manchu and his team a few weeks ago, has not been without its challenges.

Cinematographer Sheldon Chau’s lens promises to bring the visual spectacle to life, and action sequences are choreographed by the talented Kecha Khamphakdee.
As Kannappa continues its journey towards completion, fans can anticipate an epic cinematic experience, blending mythology, action, and stellar performances from a cast of industry legends and rising stars. Vishnu Manchu’s birthday surprise has undoubtedly set the stage for an eagerly awaited cinematic celebration.
