‘Kannappa’ starring Vishnu Manchu, released last Friday and had a decent opening at the box office. Director Mukesh Kumar Singh features top stars Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Mohanlal in special cameo roles. According to reports, Akshay Kumar, who portrayed Lord Shiva, was the only actor among the group to receive payment. He received Rs. 10 crore for five days of shooting. Despite having limited screen time, his role was widely promoted.
Akshay’s Commitment Stands Out
Akshay Kumar accepted the role of Lord Shiva during a crucial phase of the film’s production. His quick acceptance and professionalism were appreciated by the team, and his star value helped in marketing the film. Despite a short appearance, his scenes were used prominently in promotions. According to reports, there were no objections from the team regarding his fee. Prabhas and Mohanlal, who play Rudra and Kirata, chose not to take any payment to honor Mohan Babu. The film also features Kajal Aggarwal as Devi Parvati and continues its theatrical run across India.
