Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu eyes $1 million premiere

The biggest release of this Sankranthi season, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, starring Megastar Chiranjeevi in the title role, is gearing up for a grand premiere. With Prabhas’s “The Raja Saab” already out in theatres, all attention has now shifted to this much-anticipated family entertainer, which is premiering tonight in both India and the USA.
Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film has witnessed a significant surge in advance bookings for premiere shows in North America.
The latest reports suggest that premiere pre-sales for “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu” are inching close to the $800,000 mark, and the film is now firmly in contention to cross $1 million from premiere shows alone.
California, Texas, and New Jersey have emerged as the key markets driving the sharp rise in collections in the United States, reflecting the strong anticipation surrounding the film among family audiences.
Venkatesh plays a crucial role in the film, while Nayanthara stars as the female lead, with Catherine Tresa appearing as the second heroine. The music has been composed by Bheems, with the recently released hook step going viral, following the popularity of the chartbuster “Meesala Pilla.”
