In a heartfelt move that blends spirituality with cinematic promotion, Vishnu Manchu launched the latest track Sri Kala Hasti from his ambitious Pan-India film Kannappa at the iconic Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The soulful song, rendered with emotional depth by his daughters Ariaana and Viviana Manchu, marks a significant moment in the film’s promotional journey, adding a deeply personal and spiritual layer.
The launch, which took place at one of the most sacred temples in India, reflects the divine inspiration that underpins the story of Kannappa, which is slated for a grand theatrical release on June 27. Vishnu Manchu was joined by his father and producer Mohan Babu, director Mukesh Kumar Singh, writers Thota Prasad and Akula Shiva, and antagonist Arpit Ranka, reinforcing the film’s strong creative foundation.
The devotional song Sri Kala Hasti, composed by the renowned Stephen Devassy, carries a blend of classical devotion and modern musical elegance. Penned by the celebrated lyricist Suddala Ashok Teja, the lyrics eloquently pay tribute to the spiritual legacy of the Sri Kalahasti temple, one of the most revered Shiva temples in South India. What makes the song especially touching is the ethereal rendition by Ariaana and Viviana Manchu. Their serene voices add a fresh innocence and emotional purity to the track.
The visuals, featuring the sisters amidst stunning landscapes, amplify the song’s devotional appeal, making it a truly immersive experience. Their performances, natural and expressive, are being widely appreciated for bringing authenticity and grace to the screen. Visually, Sri Kala Hasti is nothing short of a visual hymn. Captured in breathtaking locations that echo the grandeur and sanctity of ancient temples and natural beauty, the song is designed to be both cinematic and spiritual. The visuals are not only meant to complement the lyrics but also elevate the viewer’s emotional and spiritual experience.
