Vishnu Manchu’s mythological epic ‘Kannappa’ faced creative compromises as the team, including Vishnu, director, and editor, had to sacrifice some excellent scenes due to underwhelming VFX. Despite these last-minute edits, made to maintain the film’s overall quality, ‘Kannappa’ has garnered praise for its second half and Prabhas’ cameo, collecting over Rs 23 crore on its first weekend.
