About Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu

Named after Chiranjeevi’s birth name, Sivasankara Varaprasad, MSVPG tells the story of a security officer who attempts to win back his estranged wife, played by Nayanthara. The film’s synopsis reads: “A security officer protecting his estranged wife and kids from a vengeful ex-cop sees it as a chance to rebuild their relationship after six years apart.”

The film is receiving a good response in theatres, with most shows in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana running houseful. Producer Shine Screens announced on Wednesday that extra shows are being added for the film ahead of Sankranthi due to demand. “On huge public demand, extra shows and additional screens have been added across all centres for #ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru,” they wrote.

Ram Charan, Varun Tej, Sai Durgha Tej, and several other members of the Konidela family watched the film in theatres with fans. Chiranjeevi threw a party at his Jubilee Hills home to celebrate MSVPG’s success, which was also attended by Venkatesh, who played a cameo in the film.
