Despite his age, Chiranjeevi is working hard this winter

“The Raja Saab” has already completed most of its shoot. “Anaganaga Oka Raju” has wrapped. “Nari Nari Naduma Murari” finished production long ago. So among the five Telugu films lined up for Sankranthi 2026, only two still have pending work.
They are Chiranjeevi’s “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu” and Ravi Teja’s “Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi,” both of which need to complete their shooting portions.
Chiranjeevi, despite being 70, is now working tirelessly to finish “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu” during this winter. December in Hyderabad has been colder than usual, yet he is not taking any breaks and is determined to wrap up the shoot in the next ten days. For his age, he remains remarkably fit and dedicated.
