The makers of Manchu Vishnu's 'Kannappa' are admittedly saddened by what has happened. An image of Prabhas (he is playing Nandeeswarudu's cameo in the movie) got leaked from a post-production lab, apparently. And, in a strongly-worded warning today, Vishnu's production house warned of dire consequences, saying that five lakh rupees would be given as a reward to those who help them catch hold of the culprit.
Leaks are not a strange thing in the Indian film industry. But there is a theory that the makers of 'Kannappa' have resorted to the alleged pseudo leak as a publicity gimmick.
The theory is dubious, though. There is no way to tell whether something of this sort has been done as a gimmick to put 'Kannappa' in the news cycle. If the makers walk the talk and lodged a police complaint, their sincerity would be appreciated.
Prabhas is reportedly going to share screen space with Vishnu in 'Kannappa'. There are other powerful cameos (like that of Nayanthara, Akshay Kumar and Mohanlal) but they won't be having scenes with Prabhas.
