Manchu Vishnu has finally ended his long dry spell at the box office. After more than a decade without a notable hit, he has made a strong comeback.
Over the years, Vishnu acted in and produced several films that failed to succeed, resulting in significant financial losses.
He also endured heavy trolling for his film choices and performances.
Expecting similar backlash for Kannappa, he had even issued a warning that legal action would be taken against online trolls.
However, to his surprise, the film opened to strong collections and received relatively mild criticism.
Aside from some negative feedback for the first half, Kannappa largely avoided major smear campaigns.
Encouraged by the positive response, Vishnu is now planning multiple projects.
A commercial entertainer is already in development, and he is also considering another film connected to Kannappa, which is a devotional drama.
Some members of his team have even suggested developing a prequel to Kannappa.
