Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, the latest collaboration between Anil Ravipudi and Chiranjeevi, is set to release on Sankranthi 2026. The film has already generated significant buzz, thanks to its promotional content and songs. Venkatesh is playing an extended cameo role, adding to the excitement.
The film's digital and satellite rights have been acquired by Zee Group for around ₹50 crore, a decent deal considering the current OTT market trends. This is particularly impressive since the film is primarily a regional release, and big pan-India films usually fetch higher OTT prices. With Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi are hoping to deliver a hit that will benefit both theatrically and digitally.
The next update from Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu is a song release featuring Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh. This is expected to further boost the film's anticipation, given the chemistry between the two stars. The song is likely to be a highlight of the film's promotional campaign.
Sankranthi has always been a lucky season for Anil Ravipudi and Chiranjeevi, with both delivering blockbuster films during this festive time. Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu is expected to continue this trend, with its strong cast and engaging storyline. The film's box office performance will add extra value to the OTT rights, as most OTT platforms follow a model where they pay a base price upfront and add extra amounts depending on the film's performance.
