Mumbai, June 14 : The enchanting trailer for the highly-anticipated mythological drama "Kannappa" has finally been unveiled by the makers.

The trailer opens by introducing a boy who does not believe in the existence of God and rushes to take matters into his own hands. However, his journey ends up making him a Shiv Bhakt.

We also get a glimpse of the romance between a protagonist and his ladylove, who is a devotee to Lord Shiva.

The gripping trailer is full of high-octane action sequences that will make your jaw drop.
