Vishnu Manchu is experiencing a surge of emotions as his son, Avram Manchu, prepares to make his acting debut in the upcoming film Kannappa. The proud father took to social media to express his feelings, describing the moment as a "memory for a lifetime."
Avram's debut marks the entry of the third generation of the Manchu family into the film industry. Vishnu Manchu shared a behind-the-scenes video of Avram on the set of Kannappa, along with a heartfelt note. He wrote, "My little Avram, makes his debut in Kannappa. Watching him walk onto the set, say his lines, and live this dream, has been one of the most emotional moments of my life." He further added, "As a father, nothing compares to seeing your child shine under the same sky you once dreamed beneath. This isn't just a debut. It's a memory for a lifetime. I hope you all shower him with the same love and blessings you've always given me. Avram's journey begins… and it begins with Kannappa. Har Har Mahadev."
The film Kannappa is particularly close to Vishnu's heart. He plays the titular role of Thinnadu (Kannappa), a brave warrior who transforms into a devoted follower of Lord Shiva. The film is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and boasts a stellar cast, including Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, and Madhoo. It also features star-studded cameos by Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva, Mohanlal as Kirata, and Prabhas as Rudra. Kajal Aggarwal will also be seen as Goddess Parvati.
Vishnu Manchu has previously stated that Kannappa is not just a story but a legend that blends history and mythology. He expressed his gratitude for the blessings of Lord Shiva, which he believes have brought together the stunning locations and incredible cast. Director Mukesh Kumar Singh echoed this sentiment, describing Kannappa as a tribute to faith, devotion, and the power of transformation. He emphasized that every scene has been meticulously crafted to honor the ancient tale while making it accessible to modern audiences.
The film is set to release worldwide on June 27, 2025, and has already generated significant buzz among moviegoers. Fans have expressed their excitement and support for Avram's debut, with one user commenting, "At just 2 and a half years old, little Avram Manchu stood in front of 300 people and gave a performance that left everyone speechless... This isn't just a cameo — it's a glimpse into the bright future of the Manchu family. A star in the making."
Kannappa promises to be a grand cinematic experience, celebrating faith, devotion, and the enduring power of legends. For Vishnu Manchu, it is also a deeply personal moment, watching his son embark on his own journey in the film industry.
