Kannappa falls prey to piracy

On Monday, Vishnu took to his X account to share that the film has fallen prey to piracy. He wrote in a note, “Kannappa is under attack from piracy. Over 30,000 illegal links have already been taken down. This is heartbreaking. Piracy is theft — plain and simple. We don’t teach our children to steal. Watching pirated content is no different. Please don’t encourage it. Support cinema the right way.”

The film received mixed reviews for its VFX scenes. At a press conference, Vishnu stated that editor Anthony and he had taken the decision to remove some scenes from the film because the VFX wasn’t up to par with what they expected. “It’s a massive lesson for me, though. It’s such a lesson that I’ll never repeat that mistake again. But a lot of people watching the film didn’t even realise it. The team was happy that no one cared about it,” he said.

Kannappa, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, has been written by Vishnu and produced by Mohan Babu. It is based on the legend of Kannappa in Hinduism, a devotee of God Shiva. The film also stars Mohanlal, Preity Mukhundhan, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohan Babu, R Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, and Rahul Madhav among others.
