Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is Chiranjeevi’s latest film, which ended up as a massive blockbuster at the box office. The comedy entertainer is now streaming on ZEE5 and OTTplay Premium. Directed by Anil Ravipudi of Sankranthiki Vastunnam fame, the film has created new records in the digital space as well.
Within just two days of its OTT release, MSG clocked 200 million streaming minutes. Now, as per OTTplay sources, the film is nearing 300 million streaming minutes within five days of streaming.

These are phenomenal numbers and once again prove why Chiranjeevi is called the Megastar. The clean comedy, chartbuster songs, strong family emotions, and the presence of stars like Venkatesh and Nayanthara made the film a sensational hit.
At the box office, MSG grossed ₹375 crore worldwide, according to trade reports. The film also collected close to $5 million in the US market. This marks one of the biggest hits in Chiranjeevi’s career and is also a major success for director Anil Ravipudi. Music composer Bheems Ceciroleo delivered blockbuster songs that continue to trend even after the film’s OTT premiere.

The film premiered on OTT within a month of its theatrical release, surprising many. However, the makers reportedly secured a lucrative deal with ZEE5, leading to the early digital release. Nayanthara played Chiranjeevi’s wife in this fun-filled entertainer.
The story revolves around a security agent who is called back by his ex-wife to protect her politically powerful father. How the agent, played by Chiranjeevi, uses this opportunity to reunite his family forms the crux of the film.

With consecutive hits, Anil Ravipudi has strengthened his position as one of the top commercial directors in Telugu cinema. He will next direct Venkatesh in another comedy entertainer, with the script currently in progress.
On the other hand, Chiranjeevi has signed a new action drama with director Bobby Kolli, which is expected to go on floors soon. Stay tuned for more updates.
