Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu vs The Raja Saab
Starring Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Zarina Wahab, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Nidhhi Agerwal, The Raja Saab has turned into a significant box office failure. On January 20, the film failed to cross the Rs 1 crore mark, earning just Rs 73 lakh net in India; nearly eight times lower than the Rs 5.75 crore collected by Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu on the same day.
Looking at worldwide collections, Maruthi’s fantasy-horror comedy The Raja Saab has grossed Rs 201.75 crore in 11 days, while Anil Ravipudi’s action-comedy Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has already raked in Rs 233.25 crore in just 8 days. Thus, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu remains the preferred choice of moviegoers, even after the Sankranti 2026 festivities.
