Big Stars, Big Night
The Kannappa prerelease event will be a full-on celebration. There will be speeches, special performances, behind-the-scenes clips, and more.
Sources say Prabhas might attend as the chief guest, though the team has not confirmed it yet. Either way, fans are hoping for a star-studded night.
The original plan was to hold a pre-release event in Indore on June 13, but it was cancelled due to the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad. The team showed respect by delaying promotions and launched the trailer online instead.
The digital trailer got a great response, with millions of views in just a few hours.
