Nupur Sanon, who was gearing up for her Telugu debut in Ravi Teja's upcoming film 'Tiger Nageswara Rao,' has made a swift move by securing another project, 'Kannappa,' alongside Manchi Vishnu. This movie was anticipated to be a significant undertaking in the Telugu film industry. However, recent reports have surfaced suggesting that Nupur Sanon has decided to step away from the project.
The reason for Nupur Sanon's departure from 'Kannappa' is said to be scheduling conflicts. The film's lead actor, Manchi Vishnu, took to Twitter to share this significant development and extend his best wishes to the actress for her future endeavors.
In a Twitter announcement, Vishnu, known for his work in 'Dhee,' expressed his regret, saying, "Sad to announce that lovely @nupursanon had to step down from #kannappa due to scheduling conflicts. We'll miss her, but the hunt for our new leading lady begins! Sending Nupur our best wishes on her other commitments. Hope to work with her in the near future. Exciting times ahead. Stay tuned for updates! #Kannappa."
'Kannappa' holds a special place in Manchi Vishnu's heart as it is his dream project. The movie was officially launched with a grand event in August, and its pre-production has been progressing steadily. A traditional pooja ceremony for the film took place at Sri Kalahasti temple on August 21. Filming is reportedly set to begin soon, and the film's music will be a collaborative effort between Mani Sharma and Stephen Devassy

There have been speculations about Prabhas playing a significant role in the movie. When a tweet officially announced Prabhas's involvement in the film, Vishnu Manchu, the lead actor in 'Kannappa,' shared the tweet and added the phrase 'Har Har Mahadev.' Many are interpreting his response as a confirmation of Prabhas's participation in the project.
Nupur Sanon, the sister of Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon, is poised to make her debut in the Telugu film industry alongside Ravi Teja in 'Tiger Nageswara Rao.' This high-budget production, directed by Vamsee, has been generating significant anticipation. 'Tiger Nageswara Rao' is scheduled for release on October 20, 2023, in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi. Kriti Sanon, on the other hand, recently portrayed the role of Sita in Prabhas' film 'Adipurush.'
