Chennai, April 8 (NationPress) The talented Telugu actor Vishnu Manchu, accompanied by his dedicated team for the highly anticipated film ‘Kannappa’, recently sought the blessings of the renowned spiritual figure Bageshwar Dham Sarkar (Bageshwar Baba), Shri Dhirendra Krishna Shastriji, on Tuesday.

As the mythological film Kannappa approaches its release, Vishnu Manchu is embracing a spiritual journey beyond mere publicity.

This encounter with Bageshwar Baba arrives as ‘Kannappa’, which narrates the tale of Lord Shiva’s most devoted and unexpected follower, is set to spark discussions and elevate awareness throughout the nation.

During their interaction, Bageshwar Dham Sarkar bestowed his blessings upon the ‘Kannappa’ team, which includes lead actor Vishnu Manchu, director Mukesh Kumar Singh, and antagonist Arpit Ranka. He shared insights on the significance of the devotee Kannappa and expressed appreciation for the film's vision.

He commended the initiative to showcase Indian culture and ancient narratives through cinema, asserting that such films are essential and should resonate with the public.

Bageshwar Baba highlighted that Western narratives need not be emulated when Indian mythology possesses such profound richness and charm. He praised South Indian cinema for staying true to its traditions and expressed eagerness to view ‘Kannappa’ upon its completion, wishing the film great success.

Vishnu is set to continue his Jyotirlinga Yatra, a sacred pilgrimage to the twelve holiest shrines of Lord Shiva, each believed to be a vibrant source of divine energy. This journey is not merely symbolic; it is a deeply personal quest that reflects the journey of Kannappa, who transitions from an atheist to a devotee who offers his eyes to Shiva in an act of profound love.

Recently, Vishnu visited the Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling temple in Maharashtra, marking another significant milestone in his spiritual expedition.

This pilgrimage is already in progress, with Vishnu having visited six of the twelve Jyotirlingas: Kedarnath in Uttarakhand, Mahakaleshwar and Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh, Somnath and Nageshwar in Gujarat, and now Trimbakeshwar in Maharashtra. The journey ahead will take him to Bhimashankar and Grishneshwar in Maharashtra, Kashi Vishwanath in Uttar Pradesh, Vaidyanath in Jharkhand, Mallikarjuna in Andhra Pradesh, and Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu.

Kannappa is a historical epic depicting the life of the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva. Featuring an impressive cast and stunning visuals, the film is expected to leave a lasting impression on audiences worldwide. Vishnu Manchu plays the title role of ‘Kannappa’, alongside Preity Mukhundhan, with notable performances from Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal. The film, originally set for release on April 25, has experienced a slight delay, with a new release date to be confirmed soon.
