Team delays release to enhance visual experience; Vishnu Manchu promises “it’ll be worth the wait” in heartfelt note to fans
Mumbai, March 29: Vishnu Manchu’s much-anticipated mythological epic ‘Kannappa’ has officially been postponed, with the team citing the need for more time to complete a VFX-intensive sequence. The film was initially scheduled for release on April 25.
In an emotional statement shared with fans, Manchu emphasized the importance of delivering a visual masterpiece worthy of the story’s grandeur and the devotion of Kannappa, a legendary devotee of Lord Shiva.
“To ensure this, we need a few more weeks to perfect a key episode requiring extensive VFX work,” the statement read. “Kannappa is a tribute to Lord Shiva’s greatest devotee, and we want to present it in the most extraordinary way possible.”
Expressing gratitude for fans’ patience and support, Manchu promised that the delay will be worth the wait and assured that the new release date will be announced soon.
Directed on a grand scale, Kannappa stars Vishnu Manchu in the titular role and features Preity Mukhundhan as the female lead. The film also boasts power-packed appearances by Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal.
With its epic narrative, star-studded cast, and ambitious visuals, Kannappa is expected to be a landmark in Indian mythological cinema—and now, fans will just have to wait a little longer for the divine spectacle to unfold.
