Big names like Prabhas, Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal, and Akshay Kumar were associated with the epic devotional drama Kannappa. Still, the Vishnu Manchu-led Telugu film continues to struggle at the box office. Despite the star-studded lineup and high expectations, the film saw another sharp decline in collections on Tuesday, signaling a challenging journey ahead. Here’s the latest Day 5 update.
