Director Anil Ravipudi, who tasted Sankranthi success in 2025 with Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, is once again gearing up for the festive season. For Sankranthi 2026, he has teamed up with Megastar Chiranjeevi for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which is set to hit theatres on January 12. Promotions for the film began well in advance, with the makers releasing multiple songs that have created strong buzz.

Among them, 'Meesala Pilla' has emerged as a sensation, crossing the massive milestone of 100 million views and becoming one of the biggest Telugu chartbusters of 2025. The much-awaited wholesome entertainer is already riding high on its musical success, with the song striking a chord with audiences across the country.

Composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, 'Meesala Pilla' perfectly blends nostalgic flavours with a contemporary vibe. Sung by Udit Narayan and Shweta Mohan, the track feels both classic and refreshing. Adding to its appeal is the playful on-screen chemistry between Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, which has made the song instantly engaging and widely shareable.

What truly elevated the song to blockbuster status is Chiranjeevi’s screen presence. His effortless grace, trademark style, and energetic dance moves once again reminded fans why he remains unmatched even today. The makers have also released two other songs from the film, and both have gone viral across social media platforms.

With back-to-back crowd-pleasing singles, the team has successfully converted musical buzz into massive pre-release anticipation. With 'Meesala Pilla' setting records and the soundtrack dominating the charts, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is shaping up to be a major festive entertainer this Sankranthi.
