Plot Summary
Based on a popular folk tale from Indian mythology, Kannappa tells the moving story of Thinnadu, a fierce hunter and outspoken atheist. Known for his brute strength and survival instincts, Thinnadu has no regard for rituals or deities. But fate has other plans.
As he gradually experiences the mysterious and divine presence of Lord Shiva, his heart begins to transform. From a skeptic to a supreme devotee, his journey is one of self-discovery, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. The film reaches its emotional peak when Kannappa performs an unthinkable act of devotion—offering both his eyes to Lord Shiva in a test of ultimate surrender.
This act of raw, fearless bhakti not only immortalizes Kannappa but also elevates the film into a spiritual odyssey.
