The recent spate of leaks from the sets of high-profile films has become a significant concern for filmmakers. Following a leak from Pushpa 2, a similar breach occurred with Kannappa, the upcoming devotional action drama starring Vishnu Manchu. The film features PAN-Indian star Prabhas in a crucial role. An unauthorized photo of Prabhas from the set has surfaced online and is circulating widely on social media.

In response, the makers of Kannappa have issued a statement expressing their disappointment over the leak and announced a reward of Rs. 5 lakhs for information leading to the source of the breach. Vishnu Manchu has appealed to fans and the public to refrain from sharing the leaked image, stressing the immense dedication and effort invested by the team to create a unique cinematic experience.

The production team has stated they will pursue legal action against individuals sharing unauthorized images. Those with relevant information can report directly to 24 Frames Film Factory's X account.

Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, known for helming the popular mythological series Mahabharat on Star Plus, Kannappa is produced by Mohan Babu, with Preity Mukundhan playing the lead female role.
