Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Storms Past Records, Nears ₹300 Cr Worldwide
Megastar Chiranjeevi’s festive entertainer Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is rewriting box office history with a sensational, record-breaking run. Directed by hitmaker Anil Ravipudi, the film has displayed extraordinary consistency throughout its first week, emerging as the undisputed Sankranthi winner while comfortably achieving breakeven within days.
The box office figures highlight the film’s unstoppable momentum. After a thunderous opening, MSG has continued to post massive daily numbers, including an impressive ₹31 Cr haul on Day 7 alone. The worldwide gross now stands at approximately ₹292 Cr, placing the film just a whisker away from the prestigious ₹300 Cr milestone, which it is expected to cross with ease. With this phenomenal performance, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is set to overtake Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, becoming the highest-grossing film of Anil Ravipudi’s career. Notably, the film has also registered an all-time industry record by collecting the highest share ever in AP & TS by Day 7.
Entering its second week, the film continues to enjoy excellent occupancies across theatres, especially during the festive season, reaffirming its strong family appeal.
The overseas performance has been equally electrifying. In North America, MSG has shattered previous records of both Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi, collecting over $2.96 million and rapidly approaching the coveted $3 million mark — a first-time achievement for the blockbuster combination. At this pace, the film is firmly on track to become Chiranjeevi’s biggest global blockbuster of all time.
Powered by Chiranjeevi’s unmatched star power, Anil Ravipudi’s proven track record of delivering consecutive blockbusters, highly positive word-of-mouth, and massive family audience support, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has risen above a crowded Sankranthi release slate with commanding authority.
As the film marches into its extended run, MSG stands as a shining testament to the fact that a well-crafted, emotionally engaging family entertainer, when backed by a megastar’s aura, can still dominate the box office and set new benchmarks — even in the most competitive festive season.
