TL;DR: Vishnu Manchu’s mythological magnum opus Kannappa 💥 hit theatres today (June 27, 2025), and he’s already made a bold move — no OTT release for at least 10 weeks to let fans fully experience it on the big screen. #Kannappa #VishnuManchu

🎥 Pre‑Release Drop‑the‑Mic Moment
Vishnu Manchu rocked the pre‑release event, telling fans:
“Kannappa will not come to OTT before 10 weeks” — coz the OTT 📺 rights aren’t sold yet, and he wants full theatre love ❤️ first.
In today’s digital-first world — where Telugu blockbusters hit OTT in just 4 weeks — this stand is super rare. Industry norm? 3–4 weeks for Telugu, 8 weeks for Hindi. Vishnu’s saying no to that routine.
🏆 Why This Move Matters
Greater theatrical impact: With a 202+ cr ₹ budget and support like AP adding ₹50/ticket, it’s clear the team wants a grand run in halls first.
Fan experience: Vishnu says he “has no pressure” — he’s confident the #Kannappa spectacle will keep people coming to theatres.
Strategic OTT timing: Once the 10 weeks are up, an OTT release deal (possibly Amazon Prime) will follow — fans might see it online by August ’25.
🤩 What Makes “Kannappa” a Big Deal
An epic mythological saga based on a legendary devotee of Shiva, starring Vishnu Manchu himself with cameo‑powerhouses like Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar.
Shot in New Zealand, packed with VFX, divine visuals, and a story of sacrifice — ready to stun audiences across Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, and English.
💬 Youth Chat TL;DR
#KannappaRocks: A fan review said, “Slower 1st half and super‑blockbuster 2nd half, Vishnu’s stellar!” #KannappaMovie
OTT Wait Feels: Fans buzzing online are like, “Worth it though — #TheatreMagic!” 🤩
🗳️ MediaFx Opinion, People's Perspective
From the people’s point of view, Vishnu’s move is a powerful stand against OTT-culture rushing films. He is prioritising the real movie experience, the work of countless hands behind the film, and giving theatre-going class its due respect. This is solidarity with the creative workforce — ensuring cinema halls and local vendors get to thrive before streaming platforms swoop in. 🕊️👷♂️
