Kannappa Makers Issues Caution Notice Ahead of Release

Tollywood hero Manchu Vishnu is playing the lead role in the huge mythological film 'Kannappa'. The film is being produced by Manchu Mohan Babu and Manchu Vishnu jointly, and Mukesh Kumar Singh is directing it. The makers have made this film based on the life of Shiva devotee Kannappa. The film features an all-star cast, including Rebel Star Prabhas, Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Kajal Aggarwal, and Mohan Babu. The presence of so many stars and the fact that the story of Kannappa is coming to the screen almost 50 years after the film 'Bhakta Kannappa' starring the late hero Krishnam Raju have created interest among the audience.

The 'Kannappa' movie team has taken a key decision to issue warnings that action will be taken if anyone spreads false propaganda about the film. The team has stated that some people intentionally give negative reviews about the film, and such people will not be tolerated. The official team behind the film has issued a strongly worded Public Caution Notice, making it clear that any misuse, misrepresentation, or defamatory activity against the film or its stakeholders will invite legal action.

The producers have appealed for responsible critique, urging individuals to engage with the film's substance rather than reacting with "premeditated biases or vendetta-fuelled commentary." The notice cites precedents from Indian courts to reinforce that while freedom of expression is constitutionally protected, malicious attacks on creative works or individuals are not. The statement underscores the legal backing provided to the personality and publicity rights of both Mohan Babu and Vishnu Manchu, warning that any defamation, impersonation, or unauthorized use of their image or likeness may result in legal consequences.

The film is set to hit screens worldwide on June 27, 2025, and the makers are confident about its reception. The team has signaled it will remain vigilant, ready to take action across civil, criminal, and cyber forums, should there be any attempt to unlawfully stream or distort the film. With just days remaining until release, the message is clear: Kannappa is a labor of love and lawfully protected creative expression, and the makers intend to ensure it gets the fair reception they believe it has earned.
