Bhakta Kannappa (English title: Devotee Kannappa) is a 1976 Telugu film directed by Bapu. It is based on the life of Shaiva devotee, Kannappa Nayanar.
Krishnam Raju got inspired by Ben-Hur (1959) and wanted to make a film like that and made this film. For songs recording, the unit went to tribal areas and composed their tunes and rhythms as songs for the film. In fact, the song "Enniyallo" was based on the research they had done.
The film is a blockbuster and ran for 1 year.
