šŸŽ¬ ā€œKannappaā€ OTT Release Delayed? Vishnu Manchu Breaks the Rule! šŸ™ŒāœØ

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

šŸŽ„ Pre‑Release Drop‑the‑Mic Moment

Vishnu Manchu rocked the pre‑release event, telling fans:

ā€œKannappa will not come to OTT before 10 weeksā€ — coz the OTT šŸ“ŗ rights aren’t sold yet, and he wants full theatre love ā¤ļø 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.Ā 

šŸ† 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.Ā 

  • Fan experience: Vishnu says he ā€œhas no pressureā€ — he’s 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 — fans might see it online by August ’25.

🤩 What Makes ā€œKannappaā€ a Big Deal

  • An epic mythological sagaĀ based on a legendary devotee of Shiva, starring Vishnu Manchu himself with cameo‑powerhouses like Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar.Ā 

  • 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.

šŸ’¬ Youth Chat TL;DR

  • #KannappaRocks: A fan review said, ā€œSlower 1st half and super‑blockbuster 2nd half, Vishnu’s stellar!ā€ #KannappaMovieĀ 

  • OTT Wait Feels: Fans buzzing online are like, ā€œWorth it though — #TheatreMagic!ā€ 🤩

šŸ—³ļø 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 classĀ its due respect. This is solidarity with the creative workforce — ensuring cinema halls and local vendors get to thrive before streaming platforms swoop in. šŸ•ŠļøšŸ‘·ā€ā™‚ļø
