Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu collects Rs 190 Cr in 4 days, sets box office records
HYDERABAD: Megastar Chiranjeevi’s latest film, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, has stormed the global box office, raking in ₹190 crore in just four days. The movie has reignited a festive buzz in theatres, once again proving Chiranjeevi’s magnetic pull for family audiences.
Helmed by Anil Ravipudi, the film has sparked excitement as a true family entertainer. Theatres across the Telugu states are buzzing with packed houses and sold-out shows. Even with extra screenings and more screens, the appetite for tickets shows no sign of slowing down.
Online ticket sales reflect the same trend, with over 2 million tickets sold on BookMyShow in four days, setting a new record for regional cinema. On Day 4, during Kanuma, 4.24 lakh tickets were sold, nearly matching the film’s opening day numbers. This surge points to strong word-of-mouth and steady interest. Kanuma tickets sold out across all regions, underscoring the film’s widespread popularity.
This blockbuster is fueled by Chiranjeevi’s timeless charisma and Anil Ravipudi’s emotionally rich storytelling. The film has united audiences across generations, bringing back the cherished ‘family festival’ spirit to cinemas, a rarity in recent times.
Nayanthara brings grace and strong screen presence, and her chemistry with Chiranjeevi is set to resonate with family audiences. The technical crew, including Sameer Reddy’s vibrant visuals and Bheems Ceciroleo’s nostalgic background score, add rich texture to the film.
Director Anil Ravipudi, known for his hit films, showcases Chiranjeevi in a classic, charming role. He blends emotion, fun, and action effectively. The film, produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments, features high production values.
With a star-studded cast, a proven director, and a festival release date, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu aims to be the ideal Sankranthi hit. The trailer promises “mega swag and wholesome entertainment,” gearing up for a box office clash during this busy festive season.
To protect cinema from digital tampering, the Telugu Film Industry (TFI) has made history. Acting on court orders, leading ticketing platforms are now barred from displaying audience ratings and reviews for the much-anticipated blockbuster Mana Sankara VaraPrasadGaru, featuring Megastar Chiranjeevi and Victory Venkatesh.
This intervention is the first of its kind in TFI and aims to prevent what the industry describes as coordinated negative down-ranking and malicious review attacks by bots and organized groups. The move sets a precedent for fair digital practices and challenges artificial reviews and agenda-driven campaigns that filmmakers say harm the creative and financial landscape.
The film, directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments, is now at the center of this digital safeguard initiative. The producers sought legal recourse to implement these protections, highlighting concern in the industry about pre-release digital sabotage that can skew public perception.
