Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu directed by Anil Ravipudi which released during Sankranti turned out to be the blockbuster and became the highest grosser in Chiranjeevi's career.
The film already entered into Rs 300crs club and is now racing towards Rs 400crs. It is known that those who watched the film said that Anil Ravipudi mixed the script with the taking inspiration from Viswasam, Tulasi and Daddy. In the meantime, Anil Ravipudi who is drawing all the accolades for showing Vintage Chiranjeevi in the film speaking to scribes shared the film's inspiration.
He said there is nothing wrong in people saying that the film has shades of Ajith's Viswasam because in both the films Nayanthara played the female lead while a baby girl played an important role. However, with that concept longtime back Chiranjeevi's Daddy came.
I did Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu with Daddy in mind. Though Chiranjeevi acted emotionally well, the film didnot do well as I felt that the film lacked the father-daughter sentiment. However I liked Daddy film and took it as a reference for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu.
