Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, is all set to release in theatres on January 12, 2026, ahead of Sankranti. His fans are eagerly waiting to see the actor again on the big
screen. However, a recent development regarding Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has left everyone in shock. The court has ordered online ticket booking platforms to block the ratings and reviews for the Chiranjeevi starrer. BookMyShow (a popular online booking platform) has now stopped ratings and reviews for Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu after receiving court orders. So, the audience will only have to watch the film without checking the ratings for it.
Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’s Reviews And Ratings Blocked
The BookMyShow, AKA BMS, mentioned on the Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu’s page, “Ratings & Reviews disabled as per court order.” The film is rated UA 13+ with a runtime of 2 hours and 44 minutes. The film’s synopsis reads, “A family thriller where a household's hard-won peace is threatened by a high-stakes conflict. Loyalties are tested as festivity gives way to danger.” Well, the decision came after producers raised the concern about negative previews and ratings multiple times. According to producers, some users post reviews even without purchasing tickets. They feel some organised groups allegedly turned this loophole on the portal into a business by using bots and coordinated campaigns to destroy films’ businesses.
In December 2025, BMS disabled the ratings and reviews for Darshan Thoogudeepa’s Kannada film, The Devil, as per court orders.Coming back to Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, the film has been directed by Anil Ravipudi. It also features Nayanthara, Catherine Tresa, VTV Ganesh and others in key roles. Venkatesh Daggubati will be seen in a cameo appearance.
