Suriya's note for Vishnu Manchu

Vishnu took to his X account to share a picture of the flowers along with the note, and wrote in the caption, “Big brother @Suriya_offl! Thank you so much for the flowers and more so the message. I continue to look at your work for inspiration and today getting such a message from you is one of the biggest highlight. Love you my big brother (sic).”

The note from Suriya read, “Big congratulations dear brother Vishnu on this amazing milestone! Your passion, hard work and faith through all the expectations have truly paid off. So proud of you for creating something that touches so many hearts. Wishing you even more success ahead.”

About Kannappa

Kannappa stars Vishnu Manchu in the lead role and also features star-studded cameos by Mohanlal, Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal. The film also stars Preity Mukhundhan, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo.

Meanwhile, fans saw Suriya last in Kartik Subbaraj's Retro. The film is available to watch on Netflix.
