Conspiracy hatched against Kannappa. Manchu Vishnu's Kannappa directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh is releasing on 27 June 2025. Expectations are increasing on the film as Manchu Vishnu has undertaken the project with utmost devotion and dedication.
It is known that the film landed in controversy when Brahmin associations took exception in the way the makers portrayed the roles of Brahmanandam and Satya. Now, speaking about it, Manchu Vishnu came up with this powerful comments.
He said Many times, filmmakers are held to ransom in this generation,” he said, visibly frustrated. “There are people with vested interests who want to come into the limelight or push a hidden agenda by attacking filmmakers.” These aren’t your average movie-release jitters.
He added “They wait until the last minute—usually a week or two before the premiere—and then suddenly show up with objections or legal notices. If they had a real issue, why didn’t they raise it when we began shooting?”
He continued “There should be one day in the week where it’s legal to beat the living daylights out of these idiots,” and continued “I don’t want to pull out my hair — I just want to backhand slap them. That should be legal. Just once a week.” And he’s serious about starting a movement for change. “I think I should begin representing filmmakers to the government and lawmakers. We need protection. In today’s world, everything offends someone, and a few loud voices hijack the whole narrative.”
He went on record stating “Just because a handful of people are upset doesn’t mean they represent a religion or a nation. There are psychos, robbers, and idiots in every walk of life. Don’t define a community based on that.”
