Official trailer and plot of Kannappa

Kannappa narrates the tale of Thinnadu, a young and fierce tribal hunter who is an atheist. After being ousted by his tribe for falling in love with Nemali, the princess of a neighbouring clan, the couple finds refuge in a deep forest.

However, on a fateful day, Thinnadu discovers a Shiva Lingam and begins making offerings to the idol, as his lover is a devout follower. What unfolds is a profound transformation of a man who evolves into one of Lord Shiva’s greatest devotees, even going so far as to offer his own eyes, which ultimately earns him the name Kannappa.

The legend of Kannappa is rooted in ancient mythology, with references portraying him as a revered saint.
