Megastar Chiranjeevi is known for his warm and thoughtful gestures, and he proved it once again. On Sunday, director Anil Ravipudi celebrated his birthday and visited Chiranjeevi to seek his blessings. During the meeting, Chiranjeevi surprised him by gifting a stylish wristwatch.

Chiranjeevi and Anil Ravipudi are collaborating on their upcoming film Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu. The shooting is progressing at a brisk pace, and the makers have already announced that the film will release during the coming Sankranthi festival.

While shooting on Sunday, Anil Ravipudi took a brief break to celebrate his birthday. Producers Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela also conveyed their wishes to him along with Chiranjeevi.

Nayanthara plays the female lead in the film, marking her third collaboration with Chiranjeevi after Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and Godfather.

Venkatesh also plays an important role in the movie. Whether it is a cameo or an extended role is yet to be confirmed, but according to a source, Anil Ravipudi has designed Venkatesh’s character with strong entertainment value.
