In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Vishnu Manchu revealed that Prabhas and Mohanlal graciously agreed to be part of Kannappa without charging any fee. The actor expressed his gratitude, emphasizing that neither required any special persuasion to come on board, despite the demanding shooting schedules.

“Both Prabhas and Mohanlal sir did not need any convincing. They were happy to shoot whenever required, and they did it out of love for my dad. In fact, they both did not charge a single penny. They are both so big that they didn’t need to do this character,” Vishnu Manchu shared.

Vishnu also recalled a heartwarming moment with Mohanlal, highlighting their strong bond. When he approached the Malayalam superstar to discuss financial matters, Mohanlal laughed and remarked, ‘So you think you’ve become a big boy now?’ This, according to Vishnu, reaffirmed his belief in the value of genuine friendships in the industry.
