Interestingly, this means the Megastar’s action-comedy film will hit screens just three days after Thalapathy Vijay’s Jana Nayagan and Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, both of which are scheduled for release on January 9, 2026.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is an upcoming action-comedy film featuring Chiranjeevi in the lead role. The movie is touted to be a family entertainer, with the Khaidi No. 150 actor portraying a character who must prevent a corporate scandal and deliver justice.

Apart from the Megastar, the film features Venkatesh in an extended cameo role, while Nayanthara plays the female co-lead.

Chiranjeevi’s work front

In addition to Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Chiranjeevi is also expected to appear on the silver screen in 2026 with his fantasy film Vishwambhara. Directed by Mallidi Vassishta, the movie was initially slated for release on January 10, 2025, but was later postponed. An official release date is yet to be announced.

The film features Trisha Krishnan, Kunal Kapoor, Ashika Ranganath, Surbhi Puranik, Isha Chawla, and several others in key roles.
