"Thank you, Team #Mega157 for giving me such a wonderful gift on my birthday. Let's celebrate SANKRANTHI 2026 with #ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru in cinemas!" Chiranjeevi wrote on Instagram.

Produced by Sahu Garapati under Shine Screens, with Sushmita Konidela's Gold Box Entertainments also backing the project, the film will hit theatres on Sankranti 2026.

In a double treat for fans, a special glimpse from Chiranjeevi's 'Vishwambhara' was also unveiled on Thursday. Directed by Vassishta, the teaser video shows the megastar as the saviour, slashing through enemies on the battleground.
