Official trailer and Kannappa’s plot
Kannappa describes the story of Thinnadu, a young and fiery tribal hunter, which is an atheist. The couple finds refuge in a deep forest after being excluded by their tribe to fall in love with a neighboring clan princess Nemali.
However, on a terrible day, Thinnadu finds out a Shiva Lingam and begins to make offerings to the idol, as her lover is a devotee follower.
