Chiranjeevi's Highly Anticipated Film Breathes New Life into Telugu Cinema Actor Chiranjeevi's latest action-packed film, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, has made a triumphant return to the big screen, breaking multiple box office records in the process. The film, directed by Anil Ravipudi, has collected a whopping ₹157.75 crore net in its opening week in India and over ₹225 crore gross worldwide. The film's success can be attributed to its strong start during the Sankranti festive period. Although it faced a 45% drop in its second week, it still managed to collect ₹9 crore net domestically. The film's domestic collection now stands at ₹167 crore net ( ₹200 crore gross), with overseas collections slowing down but still earning over $4.5 million. The makers of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu claim that the film has already crossed ₹300 crore at the box office, making it the first Indian film to achieve this milestone in 2026. This achievement is a testament to the film's massive popularity and a new record for Telugu cinema, surpassing previous films like Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and Sankranthiki Vastunnam. Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu stars Nayanthara and features an extended cameo by Daggubati Venkatesh. Released on January 12, the film has been a breath of fresh air for Telugu cinema, and its success is a celebration of the industry's continued growth and evolution.
