Having opened to a thunderous response in the premiere shows, Megastar Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has been doing wonders at the international markets. Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has collected $4.2 million at the overseas box office. The movie has earned nearly Rs 20 crore for its distributors.
The bosses of Shine Screens posted, "IT'S A BOSS RAMPAGE! Mega Sankranthi Blockbuster #ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru storms past $4.2M+ Overseas Gross Now charging fearlessly towards the GLORIOUS $5 MILLION HISTORY #MegaBlockBusterMSG In Cinemas Now Overseas by @SarigamaCinemas."
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has become the highest-grossing movie for Chiranjeevi in the international market. Its overseas performance has come as a big surprise to the people in the trade circle.
Idlebrain Jeevi tweeted, "#ManaShankaraVaraPrasad stands tall as the top overseas grosser, collecting more than twice the amount of the second-highest film. Anil Ravipudi's overseas success streak and domination continue unabated, even with an unfavourable release pattern - a Monday release with Sunday premieres (his earlier film Sankranthi Vastunnam too had odd day release)."
Jeevi added, "The challenge was even bigger as USA theatre allocations are rigid and not flexible for non-standard release days, given their fixed booking structures. Despite all this, the film has already turned into a profitable venture for the distributor. Next milestone: $3.5 million and beyond."
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu is an action comedy film written and directed by Anil Ravipudi and produced by Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela. It stars Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, Nayanthara, and Catherine Tresa. The plot follows Shankara Vara Prasad, a national security officer who seeks to protect his estranged wife and children, seeing it as a chance to reunite with them.
Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has collected over Rs 300 crore at the worldwide box office in 10 days. It earned Rs 150 crore for distributors, who have shelled out Rs 110 crore on its theatrical rights.
