Premiere ticket sales for Megastar Chiranjeevi's upcoming film, 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu,' have officially commenced in the Nizam area, with bookings opening at 9 AM on January 11, 2026. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the movie is a significant Sankranti release, scheduled for a grand theatrical opening on January 12, 2026, preceded by paid premiere shows on the evening of January 11. This development comes after the Telangana government granted approval for a temporary increase in ticket prices for the film. Premiere show tickets in the Nizam territory are now priced at ₹600. Furthermore, single-screen theatres are permitted to increase ticket prices by ₹50, and multiplexes by ₹100, for a period of seven days, from January 12 to January 18. The High Court had earlier clarified that its previous order restraining ticket price hikes did not apply to 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' and 'The Raja Saab', leaving the decision to the State government. A notable condition set by the Telangana government is that 20% of the incremental revenue generated from these hiked prices must be contributed to the Telugu Film Industry Employees Federation Welfare Association, aimed at supporting film industry workers. The news, initially reported by 123telugu.com, has been corroborated by multiple credible sources including NewsMeter, Deccan Chronicle, Hyderabad Mail, and Siasat.com, confirming the accuracy of the claims regarding ticket sales, price hikes, and the film's release details. 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' stars Chiranjeevi, Nayanthara, and Venkatesh, building considerable buzz ahead of its release.
