Bhakta Kannappa is a 1976 Indian Telugu-language film directed by Bapu and produced by U. Suryanarayana Raju under the Gopikrishna Movies banner. The film was inspired by the 1954 Kannada movie Bedara Kannappa which was based on the life of the Shaiva devotee, Kannappa. The film stars Krishnam Raju in the title role, along with Vanisree, M. Balaiah, Rao Gopal Rao, Sarathi, and others in supporting roles. The music was composed by Satyam, with lyrics by Arudra, C. Narayana Reddy, and Veturi Sundararama Murthy.

Production

The film was inspired by Rajkumar’s 1954 film Bedara Kannappa.

Bhakta Kannappa was primarily shot in outdoor locations, including Pattiseema, Gutala, and the forests near Buttayagudem. Filming began in November 1975 and concluded in May 1976. Initially, the project was helmed by V. Madhusudhana Rao, but due to creative differences, Bapu and Mullapudi Venkata Ramana took over the project. Bapu made significant changes to the script, which led to some previously recorded songs being dropped.

The film's artwork, typical of Bapu's style, gave the film an authentic and captivating look. The dialogues, penned by Mullapudi, were noted for their realism and relevance to the characters. Notably, the song "Enniyallo Enniyallo," which appears to be shot on a full moon night, was actually filmed during the day.
