As predicted, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has shattered Megastar Chiranjeevi’s all-time overseas premiere record.
The film crossed the $1.5 million mark in North America alone, comfortably surpassing the previous benchmark set by Khaidi No 150, which collected $1.25 million from premieres and day one together.
What makes this feat even more remarkable is that MSG surpassed the first-day earnings, including premieres, of Khaidi No 150 purely through premiere show collections.
With this sensational start, MSG now stands as Chiranjeevi’s biggest-ever opening film in North America.
Early trends indicate that MSG is emerging as the top grosser among all Sankranthi releases, with advance bookings pointing to a powerful run over the festive weekend and beyond.
