Director Anil Ravipudi has carved a niche with high-voltage entertainers driven by strong comedy. Films like F2 and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam turned into blockbusters largely due to their humour-rich narratives, while Bhagavanth Kesari fell short of similar commercial highs because of its restrained comic appeal.
Learning from that contrast, Ravipudi has set clear expectations for his next outing “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu,” scheduled for a grand Sankranthi release on January 12, 2026.
Headlined by Megastar Chiranjeevi in the titular role, the director confidently claims the film offers double the entertainment of Sankranthiki Vasthunnam.
Ravipudi has assured that the film delivers exactly what audiences expect from a festive Chiranjeevi entertainer. Industry buzz suggests that the final 30 minutes, featuring an extended guest appearance by Venkatesh, will be a major highlight and a crowd-pleasing payoff.
Nayanthara plays a wealthy woman and the daughter of a high-profile individual, while Chiranjeevi is seen as the family’s security officer, setting the stage for a comedy-driven narrative with strong commercial elements.
