Chiranjeevi's highly anticipated film, 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' (MSG), directed by Anil Ravipudi, has made a remarkable impact at the global box office since its release on January 12, 2026. The movie, which also stars Nayanthara and features an extended cameo by Venkatesh, has achieved significant commercial success, particularly in the international markets. The film has become Chiranjeevi's highest-grossing movie in North America, crossing the USD 2.5 million benchmark and reaching approximately USD 2.624 million as of Saturday (January 17 or 18, 2026). Industry reports indicate it is firmly on track to hit the prestigious USD 3 million milestone in the US alone. This performance has led to the claim that it is a 'first for Chiranjeevi' in the North American market, solidifying his strong overseas appeal. Globally, 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' has grossed an impressive ₹222.5 crore worldwide by the end of its seventh day, with some estimates even higher at ₹223.14 crore. Another credible source reports a worldwide gross of approximately ₹209 crore internationally, including ₹36 crore (USD 4 million) from international territories. This places it well above the ₹200 crore mark, showcasing its 'blockbuster run.' The film has also notably surpassed the North American collections of Prabhas's 'The Raja Saab,' which was released on January 9, 2026. With its consistent performance, 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' is currently on an 'Industry Hit' trajectory and is projected to achieve a worldwide gross of ₹300 crore. While some critics offered mixed reviews, praising Chiranjeevi's performance but critiquing the writing, the audience reception has been overwhelmingly positive, driven by the star's charisma and the film's family-friendly narrative. The movie's strong showing highlights Chiranjeevi's enduring box office power and the successful collaboration with director Anil Ravipudi.
