Calling the role a “divine coincidence,” Akshay shared that his father once briefly portrayed Lord Shiva on screen a moment that now feels like destiny coming full circle.

This isn’t Akshay’s first tryst with divinity on screen. He portrayed Lord Krishna in OMG! Oh My God and Lord Shiva in OMG 2. With Kannappa, he takes on the role of Shiva in a full-fledged mythological setting a rare and powerful opportunity that he considers a blessing. He has also extended this divine connection through music, with singles like Shambhu and Har Har Mahadev that resonated deeply with fans. These devotional tracks not only became widely popular but also cemented his spiritual association with Lord Shiva beyond the silver screen.
