Hyderabad, November 30, 2024: The release of Kannappa, the highly anticipated film starring Manchu Vishnu, has been postponed from its original release date in December 2024 to Summer 2025. This decision was made by the film’s production team, citing “unforeseen circumstances” as the primary reason for the delay. Kannappa was initially slated to release in direct competition with the much-awaited Pushpa 2: The Rule, set to hit theaters on December 5, 2024. The team appears to have strategically chosen to avoid a clash with Allu Arjun’s film, which is expected to dominate the box office.
In a statement, Vishnu confirmed that the new release date for Kannappa will be announced shortly. The delay gives the film’s production team additional time to finalize post-production work and fine-tune the film’s visuals and sound. This strategic decision will allow Kannappa to have a less competitive release window, which could boost its chances of success in the summer of 2025.
The postponement has been well-received by industry experts, who believe it will allow Kannappa to find a more favorable spot in the crowded festival and holiday release calendar. With Pushpa 2 likely to dominate the December release, Kannappa’s move to 2025 ensures that both films can find their audience without direct competition.
