**Controversy Surrounds Vishnu Manchu’s ‘Kannappa’ as Hard Drive Goes Missing, Police Investigation Launched**
**Hyderabad, India -** A major controversy has erupted surrounding the highly anticipated film ‘Kannappa’, starring Vishnu Manchu. A hard drive containing crucial visual effects shots from the movie has gone missing, prompting the ‘Kannappa’ team to file a police complaint against two individuals suspected of stealing it.
According to the complaint filed by ‘Kannappa’s executive producer, the hard drive contained scenes that had undergone visual effects work at a studio in Mumbai. The completed scenes were then dispatched via courier to the ‘Kannappa’ team’s office. However, the office boy, identified as Raghu, allegedly intercepted the courier and absconded with the hard drive, reportedly in collaboration with another woman.
Vishnu Manchu and his team fear that the stolen footage could be leaked, potentially jeopardizing the film’s release. The complaint also alleges that the two suspects are acting under the direction of an unknown third party.
This incident has raised eyebrows due to the seemingly unusual method of transporting valuable film assets via courier. Sources suggest that even if the hard drive is not recovered, the studio in Mumbai should possess a backup of the scenes. However, the team is likely concerned about the possibility of the footage being leaked before the film’s release.
Adding another layer of intrigue, the complaint subtly hints at a potential connection to Vishnu Manchu’s ongoing feud with his brother, actor Manchu Manoj. The complaint references a series of incidents allegedly involving the Manchu family.
Police have launched an investigation to locate the suspects and recover the missing hard drive. The outcome of this investigation could significantly impact the future of ‘Kannappa’, a film with an estimated budget of ₹200 crores.
