TL;DR:Ā Vishnu Manchuās mythological magnum opus KannappaĀ š„ hit theatres today (JuneāÆ27,āÆ2025), and heās already made a bold move ā no OTT release for at least 10 weeksĀ to let fans fully experience it on the big screen. #Kannappa #VishnuManchu

š„ PreāRelease DropātheāMic Moment
Vishnu Manchu rocked the preārelease event, telling fans:
āKannappa will not come to OTT before 10 weeksā ā coz the OTT šŗ rights arenāt sold yet, and he wants full theatre love ā¤ļø first.
In todayās digital-first world ā where Telugu blockbusters hit OTT in just 4 weeks ā this stand is super rare. Industry norm? 3ā4 weeks for Telugu, 8 weeks for Hindi. Vishnuās saying no to that routine.Ā
š Why This Move Matters
Greater theatrical impact: With a 202+āÆcr ā¹Ā budget and support like AP adding ā¹50/ticket, itās clear the team wants a grand run in halls first.Ā
Fan experience: Vishnu says he āhas no pressureā ā heās confident the #KannappaĀ 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 ā fans might see it online by August ā25.
