Vishnu Manchu's highly anticipated mythological epic Kannappa is set for a grand release on June 27, 2025. Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the film has been generating significant buzz with its high production values and huge star cast. However, the team has encountered a troubling setback. A hard drive containing key scenes footage from the movie has reportedly gone missing, raising serious concerns.
According to reports, the hard drive was delivered by the Mumbai-based VFX company HIVE to the Kannappa production office, Four Frames. But it was handed over to a person named Charita by an office boy named Raghu, who has since gone missing. The executive producer, Vijay Kumar, has filed a complaint that some reputed persons are trying to damage their film and an investigation is currently underway.
The police have registered a case and are working to identify those behind the theft and to ascertain their motives. The film's production and promotions continue to move forward smoothly, but this unexpected incident has cast a shadow over the team. With a star-studded cast, including Vishnu Manchu, Prabhas, Mohan Babu, and Akshay Kumar, Kannappa is set to release in several regional languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil.
The promotions of Kannappa are currently in full swing, and the team is working hard to ensure a successful release. However, the missing hard drive has raised concerns about the film's security and the potential consequences of the theft. The police are taking the incident seriously, and the investigation is ongoing. The team behind Kannappa is hoping for a swift resolution to the situation, ahead of the film's release on June 27, 2025.
