Synopsis

Set in second century CE, in the village of Uduppura, close to a forest near Sri Kalahasti, lives Thinnadu. Thinnadu is a fearless tribe hunter, who also happens to be an atheist. His father, on the other hand, is a Shiva devotee. One fine day while hunting, a wild boar leads him to a sacred hill with a Shivaling. After hunting down the boar, Thinnadu feels inexplicable pain. To get the pain off his chest, he offers water and meat to the deity. This pleases Lord Shiva but angers Mahadeva Shastri, a Brahmin who strongly opposes meat offerings. This triggers a clash between Thinnadu’s raw devotion and the rigid rituals of Shiva devotees. Thinnadu meets Nemali, a princess seeking the Vayulingam, and they develop a close bond. Rudra, a wise mentor, subtly guides him in the right direction of devotion. A meeting with Avadhoota, deepens Thinnadu’s devotion, further. As tensions with Shastri and the tribals peak, Thinnadu’s sacrifices transform him into Kannappa, a legendary devotee.
