Hard disk containing 'unreleased data' of Kannappa stolen weeks before release; Vishnu Manchu prays at Jharkhand temple
Just a month ahead of its release, a hard disk containing valuable footage from the Vishnu Manchu-starrer Kannappa was reportedly stolen. As per a report by Sakshi.com, the incident took place under the jurisdiction of the Film Nagar Police Station in Hyderabad.

Reportedly, a VFX vendor from Mumbai (Hive Studios) sent the hard disk to the office of Twenty Four Frames Factory Private Limited in Filmnagar through DTDC courier. According to DTDC delivery records, the parcel reached the office on Sunday (May 25). A staff member, Raghu, handed the courier to a woman named Charitha.
However, Charitha has been absconding since she took the hard disk. Reddy Vijaykumar of Twenty Four Frames Factory Private Limited has filed a complaint with the Film Nagar Police, alleging that Charitha disappeared with the intention of damaging the project.
Reddy said that this incident has caused a serious disruption to their film project. Reportedly, the hard disk contains unreleased, confidential and highly sensitive data related to Kannappa. Reddy stated in the complaint that his company would suffer irreparable financial loss if this content were leaked or deleted. He requested that the hard disk be recovered and handed over to him immediately.
Amid this unfortunate incident, Vishnu visited a temple in Jharkhand's Deoghar. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Vishnu shared a picture collage from his temple visit. The words from the photo read, Visited Shree Baba Baidyanath Jyotirlinga - a divine moment at one of Shiva's holiest abodes. Har Har Mahadev." He captioned it, "#HarHarMahadev #Kannappa."
Kannappa, a mythological epic, narrates the story of the titular legendary devotee of Lord Shiva. It was earlier slated to hit the big screen on April 25 but will now release on June 27.
Kannappa also stars Mohanlal, Prabhas, and Kajal Aggarwal, along with Akshay Kumar in his Telugu cinema debut. The team of Kannappa, including Vishnu, actor-producer Mohan Babu, Prabhu Deva, and executive producer Vinay Maheshwari, met Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath recently and showed a glimpse of the film's making to him.

The Lost But Successful Starkid Here we are talking about Girish Kumar Taurani, the son of Kumar S. Taurani, managing director of Tips Industries Limited, and the nephew of renowned Bollywood producer Ramesh Taurani, who has backed many star-studded blockbusters. Similar to nearly all starkids, Girish Kumar aspired to be an actor. He debuted in Bollywood with film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, alongside Shruti Haasan, which premiered in July 2013. Helmed by Prabhu Deva, which was a remake of his own Telugu film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana and produced by his father Kumar S. Taurani, however, after its release, the movie performed poorly at the box office. Despite the setback, Girish did not lose hope. In 2016, he featured in Loveshhuda, helmed by Vaibhav Misra, alongside Navneet Kaur Dhillon. This movie also failed to perform well at the box office. Later, he featured in the third film, Collateral Damage, alongside actress Nivedita Bhattacharya, a short film highlighting an outdated practice in villages, which did not significantly affect his career. When Girish Decided To Leave The World Of Glitz and Glamour Following these repeated setbacks, Girish understood that acting was not his destined path. He left the film industry when he was 27. Nonetheless, his lack of success in acting did not prevent him from achieving success in Bollywood, which led him to join the family enterprise, Tips Industries, alongside his uncle. Reports indicate that Girish Kumar Taurani is currently the COO at Tips Industries, overseeing film production, distribution, and the music sector. As per Business Standard, the market valuation of Girish Kumar's firm, Tips Industry, exceeds Rs 10000 crores, which is more than many stars currently present in the industry. Girish Kumar's wealth is reported to be Rs 2,164 crores. Yet, he has now also turned into a family man. In 2016, he wed his childhood friend and girlfriend, Krishna Mangwani and they now have a child together. He currently resides in Mumbai with his family and enjoys his lavish and peaceful life.
