Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu USA Bookings Open

Chiranjeevi's highly anticipated family entertainer, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, is ready for a worldwide release on January 12. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the movie has been creating a lot of buzz, with its promotional activities getting a strong response from fans everywhere.

Produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments, the film will be shown overseas by Sarigama Cinemas.

 The makers have started accepting advance bookings almost 15 days before the release, which is expected to lead to a huge opening.

The film will have big premiere shows across the USA on January 11.

 Anil Ravipudi, known for his careful planning and understanding of what audiences like, is making sure everything is set to deliver a great entertainer. The first look of Chiranjeevi in a stylish outfit was very well received.

Musically, the film has already made an impact with its first two songs, which became hits.

 These songs, featuring Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, showed their strong chemistry.

The excitement is going to get even bigger with the release of the third single on December 30.

 This song features Chiranjeevi and Victory Venkatesh together, a pairing that has excited fans and is expected to be one of the film's standout moments.

With a lot of pre-release attention, popular music, and a festive release date, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is expected to do well at the box office both in India and abroad.

Also, Anil Ravipudi has a good history of success in overseas markets, with his previous film Sankranthiki Vasthunnam doing well.

 MSG is set to be a perfect festive movie that the whole family can enjoy.

Nidhhi Agerwal Truly Deserves a Big Hit with The Raja Saab

 During the promotion of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, Pawan Kalyan himself said that he decided to support the film after seeing the hard work and dedication of Nidhhi Agerwal, who was leading the publicity efforts all by herself. This shows how much effort Nidhhi has put into achieving success.

Nidhhi made her debut in 2018 with Savyasachi, starring Naga Chaitanya.

 She got her first big success with her third film, iSmart Shankar. But after that, she couldn't follow it up with another successful movie for the next six years. Even though she worked really hard and kept trying to make a name for herself in Tollywood, she kept facing difficulties.

When she got two big projects, Hari Hara Veera Mallu and The Raja Saab, people thought these would help her career a lot.

 But the poor performance of Hari Hara Veera Mallu made things a bit tough for her. She had worked on that movie for more than four years and also promoted it a lot.

She managed to film both movies without taking any breaks because of her busy schedule.

 Both Pawan Kalyan and Prabhas were working on other projects, so she had to adjust her timings. Sometimes, she would take a nap in her car while traveling between Hyderabad and Vijayawada to meet the schedule.

Now, she is putting all her hopes on The Raja Saab.

 How this movie does will have a big effect on her career. She deserves a big hit for all the effort and commitment she showed while making these two films.

Nidhhi is well known to Telugu audiences as one of the three heroines in The Raja Saab.

 If she delivers a good performance and the movie becomes a hit during the festival season, it could be a big turning point in her career.

Akhanda 2' OTT release: When and where to expect Nandamuri Balakrishna’s fantasy action drama

After much excitement, fans of 'Akhanda 2' now have an official release date and a streaming platform for the film. Following its theatrical premiere on December 12, the Telugu action movie featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna is set to be available on a digital platform.

According to a report by OTT nights, Netflix has acquired the OTT streaming rights to 'Akhanda 2,' and the film will be available for viewing on January 9, 2026.

 However, this has not been officially confirmed yet.

The OTT release of 'Akhanda 2' is of interest to people who may have missed the movie in theaters or those who prefer watching big film events at home.

 'Akhanda 2' was released in theaters after being delayed from its originally planned street launch on December 5 due to legal issues. But, the movie was highly anticipated in theaters because of the star power of its lead actor Balakrishna and the popularity of the Akhanda film franchise with its core audience. The OTT release is also a geographically targeted strategy, with staggered launches on Hindi OTT platforms, as a deliberate and calculated move to reach audiences who have not seen 'Akhanda 2' and to create ongoing excitement.

Directed by Boyapati Srinu, the sequel features a return performance by Nandamuri Balakrishna, who reprises his iconic role of Akhanda, a character who doesn’t fight because he is a God.

 One of the key highlights of the sequel is the introduction of Aadhi Pinisetty, who plays the role of a villain with special powers that drive the movie’s conflict. Aadhi reportedly signed up for the movie early on, believing in the director’s vision, even before knowing the full story, because of the strength of his character in the film. The buzz around the OTT release is enhancing the excitement for the future of this franchise.

With its action-packed scenes, religious themes, and Balakrishna’s magic, 'Akhanda 2' made a big impression in 2023.

 Even the OTT release buzz is adding to the excitement, especially as audiences look forward to the sequel. 'Akhanda 3' has been announced and is titled 'Jai Akhanda,' promising more excitement.

Meanwhile, Balayya’s previous movie was the action film 'Daaku Maharaaj,' which turned out to be a big hit.

A Lucky Gap for Psych Siddhartha!

The Christmas movie rush has slowed down at the box office. Shambhala hit its expected target, and Eesha managed to stay afloat despite mixed reviews. However, Champion is facing challenges. Even though the makers say it made over eleven crore in the first weekend, the numbers have dropped during the week, which might not be enough for it to become a big hit. Unlike other films that keep gaining popularity with repeated holidays, Shambhala and Eesha don't have that benefit. They might still play in major cities for another week, but attention is now turning towards the New Year releases.

On January 1, the most talked about film is Psych Siddhartha, starring Nandu.

 Although Suresh Babu didn't produce it, he liked it so much that he released it through his production company, Suresh Productions. Directed by Varun Reddy, the film follows a carefree young man adjusting to life after a breakup, with a parallel story about a simple girl next door. The story feels fresh and different.

Nandu looks and performs very well, showing his best form in a long time.

 His efforts to look younger and more energetic are noticeable. Compared to other New Year releases that are having a hard time gaining traction, Psych Siddhartha has a better chance.

If the film gets good reviews, it can keep making decent money for at least a week.

 With The Raja Saab coming out only on January 9, Psych Siddhartha has a good time to draw in viewers. A positive reaction could help it break even and even make a profit, making it a smart choice for theaters during the holiday season.
