For the first time ever, Megastar Chiranjeevi and Victory Venkatesh — stars who once competed at the top of their careers — have joined hands to share screen space. Driven by his long-standing bond with Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh has agreed to play a special cameo in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu.
Chiranjeevi plays the titular role of Shankara Vara Prasad, while Venkatesh appears in a crucial character. Today, after completing his shoot, Venkatesh took to social media to share his excitement, calling the experience “incredible” and saying it was an “absolute joy” to work with his favourite star.
“Wrapped up my part today for #ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru, and what an incredible experience it has been! Working with my favourite @KChiruTweets was an absolute joy and this film has left me with so many lovely memories,” he wrote.
He further credited director Anil Ravipudi, with whom he has delivered hits like F2 and Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, for finally bringing the duo together on screen.
“It was long overdue to share the screen with ‘Megastar Chiranjeevi’, and I’m so glad @AnilRavipudi finally brought us together for this special film. Can’t wait to celebrate Sankranthi 2026 with all of you in theatres!”
“Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu” is touted to be a fun-filled entertainer. The film also features Nayanthara and Catherine Tresa in lead roles and is set for a grand Sankranthi 2026 release. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, it is produced by Sahu Garapati.
