Now, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has showered praise on Vishnu for his unwavering dedication towards the film.Akshay Kumar about Vishnu Manchu's dedicationAkshay spoke about the multitasking skills of Vishnu Manchu on the set of the movie. “I've seen Vishnu in action—not just as the lead, but as someone completely immersed in the soul of the film. He was acting, coordinating things on set, and even jumping in to help with the background and props when needed. At times, he felt like an art director too. He's that hands-on,” he shared at the recent promotional event.

Akshay Kumar about working with Vishnu Manchu in KannappaAkshay further added, “There was a particular sequence—barely six or seven minutes on screen—but he spent nearly two hours explaining it to me in detail. I understood it early on, but he kept going because that's how passionate he is. You rarely see an actor put themselves into a role with this much energy and heart. He's truly lived and breathed Kannappa.”Rajinikanth's review Recently, actor Rajinikanth watched the movie prior to its release.

Vishnu, along with his father, actor Mohan Babu, shared a picture with the Jailer actor on social media and wrote, “Last night, @rajinikanth uncle watched #Kannappa. After the film, he gave me a tight hug. He told me that he loved #Kannappa. I've been waiting 22 years as an actor for that hug!!! Today, I feel encouraged. Humbled. Grateful. #Kannappa is coming on 27th June and I can't wait for the world to feel the magic of Lord Shiva.
