Actor and co-writer Vishnu Manchu has officially announced that his much-anticipated film ‘Kannappa’ will see a revised release date. The decision comes as the team requires additional time to refine a crucial sequence involving extensive VFX work.

The official statement reads:
“Dear fans, well-wishers, and movie lovers,
Bringing Kannappa to life has been an incredible journey, and we are committed to delivering a cinematic spectacle that meets the highest standards.
