MSG Update

Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu starring Megastar Chiranjeevi is all set to delight audiences for Sankranthi 2026. The movie, directed by Anil Ravipudi, is slated for release on January 12, 2026, with Nayanthara playing the female lead.

So far, the makers have released two songs, Meesaala Pilla and Sasirekha, both of which have captivated audiences. Interestingly, the team has yet to release the teaser for this biggie, despite the release date fast approaching.

It appears the makers might skip the teaser release altogether and directly come up with the theatrical trailer, since very little time is left for the release. Anil Ravipudi had followed a similar approach for his previous film, Sankranthiki Vasthunam, which went on to become a massive blockbuster.

Produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under the banners of Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu also stars Catherine Tresa, Harshavardhan, Abhinav Gomatam, and Sachin Khedekar in key roles. Bheems Ceciroleo is composing the tunes.

It is known to all that Victory Venkatesh is playing an extended cameo in Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. The movie is being directed by hit machine Anil Ravipudi and is set for a grand Sankranthi 2026 release. Nayanthara plays the female lead.

With today’s shoot, Venkatesh wrapped up his part for the biggie. Venky and Chiru wrapped up shooting for an energetic dance number filmed at a pub in Hyderabad, and the makers say it will be a feast for the audience. Venkatesh shared a lovely tweet sharing his work experience with Megastar.

“Wrapped up my part today for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, and what an incredible experience it has been! Working with my favourite Chiranjeevi was an absolute joy, and this film has left me with so many lovely memories. It was long overdue to share the screen with ‘Megastar Chiranjeevi’, and I’m so glad
Anil Ravipudi finally brought us together for this special film
. Can’t wait to celebrate Sankranthi 2026 with all of you in theatres!” wrote Venky in his tweet.

Produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under the banners of Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainment, the movie also features Catherine Tresa in a key role. Bheems Ceciroleo is the music composer.
