After setting the box office on fire this Sankranthi, the Telugu blockbuster Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is all set to make its grand digital debut on ZEE5 on February 11th. The platform has acquired the exclusive digital rights of the Chiranjeevi–Nayanthara starrer, which has emerged as one of the biggest successes of the season. As announced earlier during the Sankranthi campaign, the film will stream on ZEE5 from across all languages available on the platform, ensuring massive reach among Telugu diaspora and South Asian audiences globally.
Written and directed by Anil Ravipudi, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu features Megastar Chiranjeevi in a powerful yet endearing avatar, alongside Venkatesh Daggubati, Nayanthara and Catherine Tresa. This family entertainer is deeply rooted in emotion, humour and relationships, while also delivering edge-of-the-seat drama. Blending action, comedy, emotion and family drama, the film follows a national security officer’s (Chiranjeevi) journey to protect his estranged family while rediscovering love, responsibility, and redemption. With Chiranjeevi’s enduring screen legacy and Nayanthara’s wide appeal across the country, the film found strong resonance with audiences during its theatrical run.
