Vishnu Manchu’s film ‘Kannappa’ has been released in theaters, marking a significant moment for the mythological fantasy genre. The actor-producer recently discussed the film’s digital release strategy, confirming that ‘Kannappa’ will not be available on any OTT platform for a duration of ten weeks after its theatrical debut. This strategy prioritizes the theatrical experience for viewers, as the film’s team aims to avoid an immediate shift to online streaming. According to Vishnu, the OTT rights are still available.
The Andhra Pradesh government has approved a ₹50 increase in ticket prices for ‘Kannappa’. The film stars Vishnu Manchu in the lead role, and the film features Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, and Madhoo in supporting roles. Furthermore, the movie includes special appearances from prominent Indian actors such as Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal. The film is released in five languages including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi. Early reactions to ‘Kannappa’ describe it as a visually appealing and emotionally charged cinematic experience, highlighting its themes of devotion.
