Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is a blockbuster hit at the box office and has grossed over Rs 300 crore, as per the tracking portal Sacnilk, and is showing no signs of slowing down. Despite the holiday season coming to an end, the Chiranjeevi starrer continues to witness solid occupancy across the Telugu states.
We, at OTTplay, have already reported that Zee5 has bagged the digital rights to the film for a fancy price and is set to stream MSG in the second week of February 2026.
However, with the film performing exceptionally well in theatres, the makers are now in talks with Zee5 to postpone the OTT release by at least ten days. This new development has become a topic of discussion in the film circles of Hyderabad.

A source close to the unit has revealed that while the makers locked a lucrative OTT deal with Zee5, the agreement may be altered due to the film’s strong theatrical run. The source also adds that MSG’s OTT release could be delayed by about a week.
Directed by Anil Ravipudi, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is a hilarious comedy caper that has impressed audiences and once again proved why Chiranjeevi is considered a legend. His acting, dancing, and action sequences at the age of 70 have left many amazed.

Anil Ravipudi is known for making clean family entertainers with strong comedy, which naturally helps his films fetch premium OTT prices and attract millions of views after their digital release.
Looking back, Anil Ravipudi’s previous film, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, also saw its OTT release delayed by ten days due to its sensational theatrical run. It appears a similar trend may follow with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu as well, thanks to its sensational run in theaters.

Nayanthara plays the female lead in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which features music composed by Bheems Ceciroleo. Whether in the US or the Telugu states, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has emerged as a massive hit and the clear Sankranthi 2026 winner.
