Vishnu Manchu’s movie, Kannappa has grabbed the audience’s attention with its jaw-dropping storytelling that was presented by a stellar cast. Written and led by Vishnu Manchu, produced by his dad, Mohan Babu and directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the movie’s second half has been the talk of the town. From the audience to critics, everyone remained hooked to the amazing plot and performance that the movie had to offer.
The same can be proved with the massive box office collection on Day 1 domestically. While early predictions hinted that it could actually beat Nani’s HIT 3, let’s have a look at whether the predictions were accurate.
Did Kannappa beat Nani’s HIT 3 with Day One collection at the box office?
Released on June 27, 2025, Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa left a mark on people’s minds. The early predictions stated that it could gross Rs. 17-20 crore net at the domestic box office, leaving everyone to raise a question whether it would surpass Nani-led HIT 3’s record with Day 1 box office collection. For the unversed, HIT 3 grossed Rs. 19 crore net on its very first day, while Kannappa reportedly earned Rs. 12-13 crore on day one. So, seemingly, the Day One box office collection couldn’t beat Nani’s HIT 3′s mark.
