The makers of director Anil Ravipudi’s commercial entertainer, ‘Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’, featuring actors Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara in lead roles, have released the much-anticipated trailer of the film.
Chiranjeevi shared the trailer link on his X timeline, stating, “Let’s celebrate this Sankranthi with #ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru. Enjoy the #MSGTrailer. See you all in theatres on Jan 12th!”
Trailer Highlights
The trailer opens with a sequence showcasing Shankara Vara Prasad (Chiranjeevi) as a fearless law enforcement officer, who takes down criminals regardless of their powerful positions. It then introduces a dynamic lady named Sasi (Nayanthara), leading to a blossoming romance and eventual family life. The interaction suggests that Sasi holds the upper hand, with Shankara eager to please her. In one moment, Sasi instructs Shankara Vara Prasad to “behave,” which he initially responds to with anger but softens, asking her to scold him privately rather than in public.
Cameo Appearance
Towards the end of the trailer, Venkatesh makes a notable appearance, arriving via helicopter. Chiranjeevi greets him, saying, “You look like a family man but you make a mass entry!” Venkatesh humorously retorts, “You look like the boss of mass and yet, haven’t you come to become a family man?”
For the uninitiated, this marks the first collaboration between Telugu cinema icons Venkatesh and Chiranjeevi in ‘Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’.
Dance Number Insights
The film’s makers have shot a stylish dance number featuring both Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh. Sources indicate this grand celebration number was filmed in Gachibowli, showcasing both stars shaking a leg together for the very first time.
The dance number, choreographed to Bheems Ceciroleo’s electrifying beats, features over 500 dancers, transforming the set into a vibrant carnival of color and rhythm. Observers note that the explosive energy and camaraderie between the two stars will likely resonate with fans and film enthusiasts.
