Megastar Chiranjeevi is collaborating with director Anil Ravipudi on their upcoming film Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu. Shooting is progressing at a brisk pace, and the makers have already announced that the film will hit screens during the Sankranthi festival in January. Promotions began with the first single, 'Meesala Pilla,' released a few days ago. The song has now taken the nation by storm, crossing 50 million views and setting a new benchmark for Telugu cinema music.

Director Anil Ravipudi, whose earlier film Sankranthiki Vasthunnam — a super hit — interestingly released during the last Sankranthi, promises once again a festive, family-centric experience. The 'Meesala Pilla' song perfectly encapsulates the film’s lively and heartwarming vibe. Nayanthara is the female lead. Composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, the track has become a chart-topping phenomenon, resonating with audiences across India. For a Telugu song to achieve such massive nationwide reach is a rare and remarkable feat.

Chiranjeevi’s signature charm, playful expressions, and energetic dance moves — particularly in scenes with Nayanthara — have made the song an instant hit with fans. The catchy hook and soulful vocals by Udit Narayan and Shweta Mohan further add to its viral appeal.

It’s trending everywhere — social media is flooded with reels as fans vibe, dance, and celebrate their love for the song in every possible way. The overwhelming response to this single has set high expectations for the rest of the film’s soundtrack, further fueling anticipation for the movie.

Produced jointly by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela, Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu is slated for a grand Sankranthi 2026 release. The song’s sensational reception has significantly amplified the film’s visibility, positioning it among the front-runners in the highly competitive Sankranthi lineup.
