Music release
'Sri Kala Hasti' single out now
A few days ago, the team released a new single from Kannappa titled Sri Kala Hasti. The song features the voices of Manchu's daughters Ariaana and Viviana Manchu, who also star in the film.
The track was part of the film's promotional campaign and gives fans a glimpse into its musical world.
Delay
90-minute footage went missing
The biggest delay in the release of the upcoming Telugu film Kannappa was caused by the shocking theft of a hard drive containing 90 minutes of crucial footage.
According to a statement posted on X by 24 Frames Factory, the production house behind the film, two individuals—Raghu and Charitha—stole the footage.
They have no official ties to the producers and allegedly plan to leak it online ahead of the film's theatrical release.
