Megastar Chiranjeevi's upcoming film, 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' (MSG), co-starring Nayanthara and directed by Anil Ravipudi, is demonstrating exceptionally strong advance booking trends ahead of its worldwide release on January 12, 2026. The original article from 123Telugu.com reported that over 108,000 tickets were sold on BookMyShow alone within a 24-hour period. This figure is corroborated by other credible Indian news outlets; The Indian Express noted that domestic advance sales achieved an impressive 107.36K tickets in the Telugu states within the first 24 hours. Greatandhra.com also confirmed that the film surpassed one lakh (100,000) ticket sales in the Telugu states within a day, even before Nizam region bookings fully opened. The booking momentum extends significantly to international markets, particularly North America, where the film is poised for a robust start. Reports indicate that 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' collected around $200,000 in a single day, pushing North America's total pre-sales past $850,000, with a $1 million premiere day looking highly probable. Gulte reported earlier that advance bookings in North America had already surpassed $500,000 by January 9, 2026, making it Chiranjeevi's fastest film to reach this milestone. The movie's premieres in overseas territories are scheduled for January 11, 2026, with the full global release set for January 12, coinciding with the festive Sankranti period. The strong pre-release buzz, coupled with positive reception to its trailer and songs, and a cameo by Venkatesh, has amplified expectations, with trade analysts predicting it to be one of Chiranjeevi's biggest openers.
