Megastar Chiranjeevi teamed up with director Anil Ravipudi for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which is scheduled for a Sankranthi release on January 12, 2026. Nayanthara is the female lead.
There was talk of a ticket price hike for the festive season, but the makers of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu have clarified that this will not happen. Tickets will be sold at regular prices, allowing families to watch the film without any extra burden. The decision has drawn a positive response and sets the film apart from other Sankranthi releases.
The cast also includes Venkatesh, Catherine Tresa, Sunil, VTV Ganesh, Revanth, Harsha Vardhan, Sachin Khedekar, and Abhinav Gomatam. The film is produced by Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments, with music composed by Bheems Ceciroleo.
