Today, Manchu Manoj addressed the media, revealing that the issues with his brother Manchu Vishnu are still ongoing.
While the emotional tone of his press meet continued the saga of their strained relationship, one particular statement caught everyone's attention.
Manoj stated that Vishnu had postponed the release of Kannappa out of fear that his own film, Bhairavam, was set to release in the last week of April.
However, by evening, Vishnu made a sudden move and officially announced June 27 as the new release date for Kannappa.
Now, the big question is whether Manoj will stick to the original April release for Bhairavam as planned, or delay it to clash directly with Kannappa on June 27.
Box office clashes aren’t always a negative thing — in fact, history has shown that rival releases can boost hype and turnout for both films.
When Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy hit theatres on the same day, both did remarkably well. Had they released separately, the buzz might not have been the same.
All eyes are now on the Manchu brothers. Will they go head-to-head at the box office, or avoid a direct showdown?
The coming days will reveal how this family drama plays out on the big screen.
