In a recent social media post, actor Manoj Manchu wished his father, Mohan Babu, and the Kannappa team ahead of the film's release. However, the post drew attention for omitting his brother Vishnu Manchu's name, fueling further speculation about the ongoing family feud between the two. The post came just ahead of the much-anticipated release of Kannappa, which stars Vishnu Manchu in the lead role, set to hit theaters on June 27.

In his post, Manoj expressed his excitement for the film, praising his father’s hard work on the project. He also extended his best wishes to Vishnu’s children, Ariana, Viviana, and Avram, who are featured in the film. Manoj further thanked actors Prabhas, Mohanlal, and Akshay Kumar for their cameo roles in the mythological drama.

Despite his positive words for his father and the team, the absence of Vishnu’s name sparked conversations about the continuing family rift. The feud intensified recently after Vishnu accused Manoj of being involved in the theft of a hard disk containing Kannappa footage. Vishnu claimed that two individuals, Raghu and Charitha, who allegedly stole the hard disk, worked for Manoj. Despite the incident happening weeks ago, the matter was only reported to the police after failed attempts to contact Manoj and his associates.

Kannappa, a mythological action drama directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, is based on the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva. Produced by Mohan Babu, the film also features a strong supporting cast, including Sarathkumar, Brahmanandam, and Brahmaji. The ongoing family feud, however, casts a shadow over the film's release, with fans watching closely for any further developments in the Manchu family's saga.
