Kannappa Re-Release: Manchu Vishnu Film Returns June 27

Manchu Vishnu‘s devotional epic Kannappa is all set to return to theatres on June 27, marking the film’s first anniversary. The makers have announced the re-release, offering fans another opportunity to witness the visual spectacle on the big screen.

A Career Milestone at the Box Office

Kannappa became Manchu Vishnu's career-best grosser during its original theatrical run last year. The film received superb openings for the actor, though it fell short of its breakeven target due to the massive production budget invested in the project.

Directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, the devotional drama featured Vishnu Manchu as the devotee Kannappa. The project, which took nearly a decade of preparation, attracted significant audience interest for its grand scale and devotional theme.

Pan-Indian Star Cast

The film boasts an impressive ensemble that spans multiple film industries. Mohan Babu, Mohanlal, Prabhas, Akshay Kumar, Sarath Kumar, and Kajal Aggarwal play key roles, bringing pan-Indian star power to the devotional narrative.

Produced by Mohan Babu with music composed by Stephen Davis, Kannappa was mounted on a huge scale with extensive visual effects and production design. The June 27 re-release aligns with the film’s one-year anniversary, giving both the film’s fan base and new viewers a chance to experience this devotional epic in cinemas once again.

Preity Mukhundhan Signed for Sharwanand’s Telugu Film

Preity Mukhundhan, who impressed audiences with her performance in the action-entertainer Blast, has been finalized as the heroine for Sharwanand‘s upcoming Telugu film with director Sreenu Vaitla. The young actress is making steady progress in Telugu cinema with this exciting new project.

Preity Mukhundhan’s Growing Telugu Filmography

The 24-year-old actress has already built an impressive portfolio in Telugu cinema. She appeared in the horror-comedy Om Bheem Bush and is part of the upcoming mythological film Kannappa. Preity also featured in Nivin Pauly‘s Malayalam film Sarvam Maya. Born in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, she made her mark with the 2024 Tamil romantic drama Star opposite Kavin before expanding into Telugu and Malayalam cinema.

The George Krish Project Details

Produced by Anil Sunkara under AK Entertainments, the film titled George Krish is directed by Sreenu Vaitla. Regular shooting is scheduled to begin in July-August 2026. The makers are planning a grand release during Sankranthi 2027, positioning it as a major festive entertainer.

This collaboration marks the second project between Sharwanand and producer Anil Sunkara, following their Sankranti 2026 success Nari Nari Naduma Murari. The successful track record has raised expectations for George Krish, with the team banking on Sreenu Vaitla‘s signature comedy style combined with the lead pair’s chemistry.

According to The Hans India, the project was initially announced under Mythri Movie Makers before Anil Sunkara‘s banner took over production responsibilities.

Fans are excited that Preity Mukhundhan is securing promising opportunities in Telugu cinema, and expectations are high for her pairing with Sharwanand in this entertainer.

Aadarsha Kutumbam Release Pushed to Summer 2027?

The much-awaited collaboration between Venkatesh and director Trivikram Srinivas, Aadarsha Kutumbam House No. 47 (AK-47), is facing further delays. Strong buzz in industry circles now suggests the Aadarsha Kutumbam release may be pushed all the way to Summer 2027 due to prolonged production schedules.

Multiple Postponements Since Announcement

The film was initially planned for a summer release this year, but was postponed due to pending shooting schedules. After the summer 2026 release was dropped, the team set their sights on a Dasara release.

However, the shoot is still in progress and taking considerably longer than expected. With production delays mounting, even the Dasara slot now appears uncertain. Industry sources indicate that the film may only be ready for a Summer 2027 theatrical release, disappointing fans who have been eagerly awaiting this prestigious collaboration.

Venkatesh’s Anil Ravipudi Film Complicates Timeline

Adding to the scheduling complexity, Venkatesh is expected to allocate dates for his film with director Anil Ravipudi from next month. That project has been planned for a long time and is targeting a Sankranthi release.

As a result, the Trivikram directorial could be released only after the Anil Ravipudi film, making a Summer 2027 release window a strong possibility for Aadarsha Kutumbam. Venkatesh will need to juggle commitments between both high-profile projects in the coming months.

The Venkatesh-Trivikram combination generated massive buzz when it was announced, but the repeated delays have tested the patience of their combined fan base. An official announcement on the final release date is still awaited.

Peddi Crosses ₹320 Cr Worldwide in 2 Weeks; Telugu Dominates

Ram Charan‘s sports action drama Peddi has crossed the ₹320 Cr mark in worldwide gross collections within two weeks of its theatrical release. Directed by Buchi Babu Sana and featuring an ensemble cast including Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, and Jagapathi Babu, the film released on 4th June 2026 across multiple formats including IMAX and 4DX.

Two-Week Box Office Breakdown

The Peddi worldwide gross collections reveal a clear pattern of regional dominance. The Telugu version has been the primary revenue driver, while other language versions have underperformed significantly.

VersionGross CollectionShare of Total
Telugu Version₹290 Cr+90%+
Other Versions₹30 Cr~10%
Worldwide Total₹320 Cr+100%

This distribution indicates that more than 90% of the film’s collections have come from the Telugu version, meaning Peddi has performed more like a regional film rather than achieving true pan-India appeal. The Telugu version's dominance mirrors patterns seen in other major Telugu releases where regional audiences form the core revenue base.

Breakeven Target and Third Week Challenge

For the Telugu version to achieve breakeven status, Peddi needs to collect ₹375 Cr+ in worldwide gross. With ₹320 Cr already collected in two weeks, the film requires an additional ₹55 Cr+ to reach this crucial milestone. This makes the third week critical for the film’s commercial success.

The gap between current collections and breakeven means the film needs sustained momentum through its third weekend and weekdays. Historical trends show that third-week drops can be significant for most releases, making this a challenging target.

To boost performance and attract audiences back to theaters, the makers have added six minutes of new footage this week. It remains to be seen how these additions work in the film’s favor. The new footage strategy aims to generate fresh buzz and encourage repeat viewings, but the film definitely needs a super-strong third week to get closer to breakeven, at least in the Telugu version.

The failure to generate significant numbers in other language versions highlights the challenge of achieving pan-India success. While the Telugu performance has been solid, the limited appeal in Hindi, Tamil, and other markets has restricted the film’s overall potential.

Peddi New Version Hits Theatres with Added Scenes

Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s sports drama Peddi is making a return to theatres with an exciting update. The Peddi new version, officially called the Reloaded edition, releases theatrically starting today with brand new scenes that were not part of the original theatrical cut.

Directed by Buchi Babu Sana, the film’s production team has officially announced the addition of approximately 5 minutes and 56 seconds of fresh footage to enhance the narrative and viewing experience. This theatrical re-release gives audiences a chance to witness the director’s extended vision.

What’s New in Peddi Reloaded

The extended cut includes a crucial scene featuring senior actor Jagapathi Babu, which is expected to add more weight to the storyline. Additional scenes featuring heroine Janhvi Kapoor have also been incorporated into this new version.

The decision to release a reloaded version follows a growing trend in Telugu cinema, where filmmakers are bringing audiences back to theatres with extended cuts. Earlier this year, Pushpa 2 Reloaded successfully utilized this strategy by adding additional footage to the blockbuster.

Production and Cast Details

Produced by Venkat Satish Kilaru under the banner of Vriddhi Cinemas, Peddi boasts a multi-starrer ensemble. Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar plays a significant role, alongside talented actors Divyendu Sharma and Boman Irani in pivotal characters.

The theatrical re-release with added scenes could provide a boost to the film’s box office performance. Industry observers will be watching to see how the extended runtime and new content featuring established actors like Jagapathi Babu impact audience turnout and the film’s commercial prospects.

Sharwanand-Sreenu Vaitla Film: Anil Sunkara Replaces Mythri

Sharwanand signed a film with Sreenu Vaitla that was initially announced under Mythri Movie Makers for a Sankranti 2027 release. Today, the film’s pooja ceremony was held in Jubilee Hills and the project was officially launched, but with a significant production change.

Mythri Movie Makers Exits, Anil Sunkara Steps In

The production house has changed hands. Mythri Movie Makers, which had originally committed to bankroll the Sreenu Vaitla project, has stepped away from the film. In their place, Anil Sunkara and his banner AK Entertainments have taken over production responsibilities.

The project itself has an interesting backstory. It was initially planned as a Nithiin starrer under Sreenu Vaitla’s direction but was later shifted to Sharwanand following Nithiin’s career setback with Thammudu.

Proven Track Record: Sharwanand and Anil Sunkara Reunite

This marks the second collaboration between Sharwanand and producer Anil Sunkara. Their previous venture, Nari Nari Naduma Murari, released during Sankranti 2026 and emerged as a big success at the box office. That film’s strong performance has clearly laid the groundwork for this reunion.

The proven chemistry between actor and producer likely played a role in Anil Sunkara stepping in to take over the project after Mythri Movie Makers’ exit. According to reports, the film will feature a unique blend of comedy and science fiction with a time travel concept, combining Sreenu Vaitla’s signature humor with contemporary storytelling elements.

Critical Comeback Opportunity for Sreenu Vaitla

For director Sreenu Vaitla, this film carries career-defining stakes. After a prolonged rough patch with multiple commercial disappointments, industry observers view this as potentially his best and perhaps last opportunity to make a strong comeback as a director.

The combination of Sharwanand’s current market standing, a reliable producer in Anil Sunkara, the innovative sci-fi comedy concept, and the lucrative Sankranti 2027 release window gives Vaitla the platform he needs to reclaim his position in Telugu cinema. The film is expected to go on floors in July 2026, with the team banking on the chemistry between the actor-director-producer trio to deliver a box office winner.

Drishyam 3 Faces Last-Minute Setback Ahead of OTT Premiere

Just hours before its scheduled OTT premiere on Amazon Prime Video, Drishyam 3 has hit a major roadblock. The Telugu-dubbed version of the Mohanlal starrer has been temporarily halted following an order from the Madras High Court.

The setback comes as disappointing news for Telugu audiences who were eagerly waiting to stream the highly anticipated crime thriller.

The legal issue arose after Rajkumar Theatre Private Limited approached the court, claiming it holds exclusive Telugu remake and broadcasting rights for the third film in the Drishyam franchise.

According to the company, streaming the Telugu-dubbed version of Drishyam 3 would amount to a violation of its copyright. Based on these claims, the court has granted interim protection until the matter is thoroughly examined and resolved.

Prime Video Cannot Stream Telugu Version for Now

With the dispute still pending, Amazon Prime Video has been restrained from streaming the Telugu-dubbed version on its platform. However, the Drishyam 3 OTT premiere will proceed as scheduled for other languages.

The unexpected legal hurdle has now cast uncertainty over the Telugu OTT release of Drishyam 3, leaving fans waiting for further clarity on when the dubbed version will eventually become available.

Peddi Three Scenes Not Added Despite Announcement

Ram Charan‘s latest film Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu, was supposed to receive an enhanced theatrical experience starting today, but fans are left disappointed.

The Peddi team had announced that they are adding three new scenes to the film, which will add more depth and value to the overall narrative. They stated that this updated version would start screening in cinemas from Wednesday (June 17).

New Version Delay Continues

But much to the disappointment of fans, the new version did not play in theatres today, and there has been no update from the team regarding the delay.

The team has already delayed this version, which could have been released during the last weekend. At the very least, the makers should ensure that the updated version arrives by tomorrow or Friday, as it could help the film attract more audiences and generate good numbers over the coming weekend.

The Telugu states’ buyers need another strong weekend to reach the breakeven mark. If the new three scenes in Peddi are added, it is likely to work as a positive factor for the film. With the weekend approaching, the updated version’s release becomes even more crucial for the film’s theatrical run.

The songs and background score continue to resonate with audiences, making Raghuvaran B.Tech an evergreen entertainer.

Veteran actors Saranya Ponvannan and Samuthirakani portrayed the protagonist’s parents and delivered memorable performances. The supporting cast includes Vivek, Hrishikesh, and Amitash Pradhan in important roles.

Directed by Velraj, the film struck a chord with audiences through its inspiring story of an unemployed engineering graduate striving to prove himself. The film’s themes of ambition, family, love, and perseverance continue to connect with viewers across generations.

With nostalgia running high and Dhanush enjoying immense popularity, the film is expected to receive a strong response during its theatrical return. For fans, July 4 offers another opportunity to relive one of the actor’s most iconic films in theatres.
