Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu Movie 2026 Storyline
The film is a classic Anil Ravipudi-style action-comedy that blends “mass” hero moments with heavy family sentiment:
The Setup: Shankara Vara Prasad (Chiranjeevi) is a top-tier National Security Guard (NSG) officer known for his discipline. However, his personal life is in shambles—he is estranged from his wife, Sasirekha (Nayanthara), a high-powered businesswoman, due to an ego clash involving her father (Sachin Khedekar).
The Mission: When a threat looms over Sasirekha’s family, Prasad is assigned as their covert security head. He takes this as a “mission” to win back his wife and children.
The Twist: The story takes a hilarious turn when Venky Gowda (Venkatesh) enters the scene as a flamboyant businessman with his own eyes on Sasirekha, leading to a comedic rivalry between the two veteran stars.
