Manchu Vishnu's upcoming film Kannappa has made a significant shift in momentum with the release of its first single, "Shiva Shiva Shankara." Initially met with mixed reactions when the first look of Prabhas was unveiled, the song has put to rest any doubts, garnering positive feedback across audiences. Released on a special occasion by Art of Living founder Ravi Shankar Guruji, the track's devotional lyrics penned by Ramajogayya Sastry are paired beautifully with Vijay Prakash’s soulful vocals.

Prabhu Deva's choreography and the song's picturization further enhance its impact, contributing to its growing appeal. The composition itself, though simple, carries deep devotion and a sense of reverence towards Lord Siva. The track’s successful reception signals a bright start to the film's promotional journey. Kannappa features a stellar cast, including Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Kajal, and Sarathkumar, and is set to hit theaters worldwide on April 25, 2025. The song’s release marks a significant milestone in the film's journey, boosting anticipation for the movie's arrival.
