Kannappa: All About Vishnu Manchu’s Two-Clause OTT Deal
Vishnu Manchu’s much-awaited Telugu fantasy film Kannappa is all set to release in cinemas on June 27. The trailer has already gotten a huge response from fans, and everyone is excited to watch it on the big screen. The actor plays the lead role in this film, which is based on the Hindu legend of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva.
As the release date comes closer, many are eager to know when the movie will stream on OTT platforms. There is a special deal in place for its digital release. According to reports, Vishnu Manchu has made a unique two-clause agreement with a leading OTT platform.
The first clause says if the film performs well at the box office, it will be available on OTT after an 8-week theatrical run. This is a much longer window than the usual 4 weeks. Vishnu Manchu has made sure to set aside a specific amount for this scenario.

The second clause comes into play if the movie doesn’t do well at the box office. If it underperforms, then it will release on OTT within a month of its theatrical debut. So, this deal covers both possibilities — whether the film is a huge success or not.
This shows how careful Vishnu Manchu is about securing a deal that benefits both him and the makers. It guarantees profits from different sources, regardless of the box office result.
The actor has also teamed up with big names like Mohanlal, Kajal Aggarwal, Prabhas and Akshay Kumar for this ambitious project. Kannappa promises to be a grand cinematic experience in theatres first, and later on a popular OTT platform.
