Vishnu Manchu led multi-starrer movie Kannappa released in theatres on June 27. The film has big stars including Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, Prabhas and Mohanlal. With its unique concept, Kannappa has been making buzz since its announcement. After two days of release, the movie crossed the Rs 16 crore mark. As the film is marching towards its success, there is a potential chance of Kannappa’s prequel. At a recent press conference, Vishnu was asked if it is possible for another film based on the lore of Kannappa. Here is what Vishnu Manchu said.

Vishnu said, “A really good director…one of the leading directors today called me yesterday and asked me if I would be open to doing a prequel. I laughed because he said let’s explore more of Kannappa as an atheist if you’re interested. I was like, why not? We laughed about it because this film can have a prequel at best, but not a sequel.”

He also talked about Kannappa’s OTT plans and wrote, “I have not given it to an OTT yet. I’ve said this before, too. I was not offered the rate I requested. I asked them what if the film is a hit, and they quoted a certain number. I asked them to keep a cheque ready now.”
