Manchu Vishnu's devotional entertainer Kannappa directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh is generating tremendous interest among movie lovers.
The film's first single Shiva Shiva Shankaraa Telugu version is going viral on social media. However, the song's Hindi version is not yet released. The makers now revealed the reason behind the delay in the Hindi version release.
A source shares “We were eager to present the making of this song to highlight the massive cinematic scale and the painstaking efforts that went into its production. It has been shot in a deeply rooted manner, and the visuals depict a powerful act of devotion, where Kannappa plucks out one of his eyes and places it on the lingam to stop the bleeding. This was something we really wanted the audience to witness.”
“Akshay Kumar, who is making his Telugu debut with Kannappa, had also committed to attending,” the source added. “Now, securing another date to bring everyone together again will be incredibly challenging.” The source shared “Since this was a private event, we assumed there wouldn’t be any restrictions. However, it seems that any screening in theaters or on platforms like YouTube now requires censor certification. We are working on obtaining it from the South.”
With the celebrities busy with Kumbh Mela and Chitral Lingam, the source adds “We haven’t set a new date for the Mumbai event yet, as we are caught up with promotions and post-production work,” The source added “We are still in the process of securing deals. Our producers are set to meet Sri Lankan distributors flying in tonight,”
