Festive fun and mega charm shine in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu trailer
The makers of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu have unveiled the film’s theatrical trailer in Tirupati, sparking fresh excitement around the much-anticipated Sankranthi release. Starring Megastar Chiranjeevi and Victory Venkatesh, and directed by blockbuster filmmaker Anil Ravipudi, the film is shaping up to be a high-energy yet wholesome family entertainer.
This project marks a special collaboration, bringing together Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi for the first time, while also featuring Venkatesh in a crucial and impactful role. Strong promotional material released so far has kept expectations high, and the newly launched trailer further reinforces the film’s festive appeal.
The story centres on Shankara Vara Prasad, a former officer who has served in multiple national security agencies. His life takes a softer turn when he falls in love with Sasirekha and chooses to prioritise family above all else. However, peace does not last long, and when trouble threatens his happiness, Vara Prasad is compelled to confront the situation using the sharp instincts and strength he once relied upon.
Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu trailer showcases Chiranjeevi in a comic and charismatic avatar that fans have long missed. His screen presence, expressive body language and effortless humour dominate the narrative, delivering moments that feel both nostalgic and refreshing. The entry of Venkatesh adds further weight, with his commanding performance and engaging exchanges with Chiranjeevi emerging as standout moments. The camaraderie between the two senior stars promises to be a major highlight of the film.
Nayanthara appears graceful in traditional roles, sharing a warm and relatable chemistry with Chiranjeevi that is likely to resonate with family audiences. Sachin Khedekar lends solid support, while the ensemble cast contributes effectively to the film’s light-hearted yet engaging tone.
Anil Ravipudi once again proves his strength in blending comedy with emotional depth and action. His presentation of Chiranjeevi in a vintage yet contemporary style, coupled with the strategic use of Venkatesh’s screen presence, elevates the trailer’s impact. Technically, the film impresses with Sameer Reddy’s colourful cinematography, Bheems Ceciroleo’s nostalgic background score and AS Prakash’s detailed production design. Production houses Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments deliver polished visuals and scale.
With its mix of humour, emotion, star power and festive flavour, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is poised to be a major crowd-puller when it releases in cinemas on 12 January.
