Vishnu Manchu, Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal-starrer Kannappa postponed, new release date…

The release of Vishnu Manchu’s Kannappa has been postponed. The decision comes as the team “requires additional time to refine a crucial sequence involving extensive VFX work.” In an official statement, Manchu reassured fans that the delay is aimed at enhancing the cinematic experience. He also expressed his gratitude for the audience’s support.

The official statement read, “Dear fans, well-wishers, and movie lovers, Bringing Kannappa to life has been an incredible journey, and we are committed to delivering a cinematic spectacle that meets the highest standards. To ensure this, we need a few more weeks to perfect a key episode requiring extensive VFX work. This means the release of the project will be a bit delayed.”

“We sincerely regret the wait and understand the anticipation surrounding this film. I truly appreciate your patience and support – it means everything to us. Kannappa is a tribute to Lord Shiva’s greatest devotee, and we want to present it in the most extraordinary way possible. Our team is working tirelessly, and we promise it will be worth it. We’ll be back soon with an update and the new release date! Thank you for standing with us,” it added.
