Hyderabad: Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming family entertainer Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, directed by Anil Ravipudi, is building strong buzz in Tollywood circles. The film, featuring Nayanthara as the female lead, has already garnered impressive attention with its first two songs — Meesaala Pilla and Sasirekha — both of which received an enthusiastic response from audiences and fans.

Team to reveal release date at special press meet

The latest update from the production team confirms that the official release date of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu will be announced tomorrow. A dedicated press meet has been organised, where the makers will formally unveil the details.

Industry insiders and trade analysts suggest that the team is eyeing 12 January 2026 as the theatrical release date, positioning the film for a strong Sankranthi holiday opening — a festive window known for blockbuster business in south Indian cinema.

More announcements expected

Sources close to the production hint that tomorrow’s event may not be limited to just the release date reveal. Fans can expect additional updates, possibly involving a new poster, teaser details or further insights into the film’s narrative and characterisations.

Besides Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, actress Catherine Tresa plays a key role in the film, adding further star value to the cast. The movie is being jointly produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments — a collaboration that has raised anticipation for a high-quality commercial entertainer.

Music is composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, who has delivered energetic numbers in recent hits. With the first two tracks already trending among fans, the soundtrack is expected to play a major role in boosting pre-release hype.
