Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Sankranti blockbuster Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu (often abbreviated as MSG) has officially locked its digital premiere, with reports confirming a streaming debut on ZEE5 starting February 11, 2026.
Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the action-comedy family entertainer—starring Chiranjeevi in the lead alongside Nayanthara and a special cameo by Venkatesh Daggubati—was theatrically released on January 12, 2026, coinciding with Sankranti. It emerged as a massive hit, crossing the ₹200 crore net mark in India (approximately ₹201.93 crore net by day 18, surpassing previous Sankranti grossers like Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and HanuMan) and amassing over ₹360 crore worldwide. The film’s blend of high-energy action, heartfelt family drama, humor, and Chiranjeevi’s charismatic performance earned widespread praise, though critics noted mixed views on the script’s depth.
ZEE5 acquired the digital streaming rights early on (confirmed in late 2025 reports), with Zee Telugu securing the satellite rights for television broadcasts. Multiple industry sources, including 123telugu.com, Moneycontrol, OTT Play, and others, now report the OTT date as locked for February 11, 2026—just under a month after theatrical release, aligning with the typical 4–6 week window for Telugu blockbusters. The film will also be accessible via OTTplay Premium in select regions.
This quick transition to digital comes amid the movie’s continued strong theatrical run, with steady collections and positive word-of-mouth driving repeat viewings. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the OTT arrival to experience the family entertainer from home, especially given its broad appeal across generations.
The February 11 date positions Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu to capitalize on post-Sankranti viewership momentum while avoiding major competing events. It remains to be seen how the film performs on streaming—given its theatrical dominance and star power, expectations are high for it to dominate ZEE5 charts and potentially set new benchmarks for Telugu content on the platform.
The makers have yet to issue an official announcement, but the consistent reporting across reliable outlets suggests this date is firm. Stay tuned for any final confirmations from the team or ZEE5.
