As per a report in 123telugu.com, while speaking at a promotional event of Kannappa in Chennai on Friday (May 30), Vishnu claimed that Raghu and Charita, who allegedly stole the hard disk, are part of Manoj바카라�s staff.

"In case the culprits manage to leak the footage, I urge everyone not to watch the leaked content. About 70 minutes of colour-graded footage that was sent from a Mumbai facility to our father바카라�s Film Nagar residence was stolen by Raghu more than a month ago," he said.

Vishnu said he suspects Raghu is employed by Manoj but he is not sure if Raghu stole the hard disk on his brother바카라�s command or not. The actor also said that the hard disk is password protected and 바카라�it바카라�s very difficult to crack바카라�.

Case registered over stolen hard disk of Kannappa

As per a report in PTI, a case was registered against two persons in Hyderabad following a complaint accusing them of the "unauthorised" possession of a hard drive containing highly sensitive content of Kannappa.

On May 27, 24 Frames Factory released a statement on X, saying that, "a hard drive containing a pivotal action sequence between two lead characters of Kannappa, along with critical VFX work, was stolen during transit."

It added, "Shockingly, the package was unlawfully intercepted and signed for by an individual named Mr. Raghu, who acted under the instructions of a woman named Charita. Neither of them are employees, representatives, or associates of 24 Frames Factory. Their act constitutes impersonation and theft."
