How MSG maker escaped from a tempting multistarrer

Anil Ravipudi is promoting his upcoming film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu which stars Chiranjeevi and  Nayantara in the lead roles with Venkatesh playing a powerful cameo. The film is releasing on 12 Jan 2026.

Anil Ravipudi said he escaped from the tempting multi starrer and it is Masala featuring Venkatesh and Ram. He said when Suresh Babu offered him to direct Masala, it was tempting for him.

He said however he watched the original Bol Bachchan  many times and felt that he shouldn't do his first film with such subject. He said he planned a little bit of action in his debut film and so rejected the offer. He said however he worked as the writer for the project.

In the meantime, expectations are high on Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu as Chiranjeevi is doing a full length hilarious role after a longtime.
