Anil Ravipudi: When Nayanthara strongly believes in something, she does it!

Director Anil Ravipudi reveals how he convinced Nayanthara to promote 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' with Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh.

"When she strongly believes in something, she definitely does it. - Anil Ravipudi"

Hyderabad, Jan 11

Director Anil Ravipudi, whose family entertainer 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' is to hit screens on January 12, has now disclosed how he got actress Nayanthara, who plays the female lead in the film opposite Chiranjeevi, to turn up for the film's promotions.

During a media interaction, the director's attention was drawn to the fact that Nayanthara, who generally did not participate in the promotions of her films, had participated in the promotions of this film.

Responding to the question he said that he ensured that every artiste and technician he worked with was comfortable.

"When we ask for something genuinely... when an emotional connection is made with the other person, even those who would never do it will definitely do it. I think the same happened in Nayanthara's case. Nayanthara is very honest. She does what she feels like doing. When she strongly believes in something, she definitely does it," he said.

The director also disclosed that there was an emotional point in his film. "Along with the comedy, there will be a strong emotional ride. The scenes between Chiranjeevi, Nayanthara and the children will be very heartwarming," he said.

For the unaware, Venkatesh and Chiranjeevi, two of Telugu cinema's top stars, have for the first time ever worked together in director Anil Ravipudi's much-awaited mass family entertainer 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu'.

The film, which was initially being referred to as #Mega157, has triggered huge expectations as after 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' and 'Godfather', Nayanthara will be seen sharing screen space with Chiranjeevi for the third time in this film.

Backed by producers Sahu Garapati and Sushmita Konidela under Shine Screens and Gold Box Entertainments, with Smt. Archana presenting, the film boasts top-tier technical talent.

Bheems Ceciroleo has scored music for this eagerly awaited entertainer while Sameer Reddy was its cinematographer. Editing for the film has been handled by Tammiraju and A S Prakash has served as its art director.

Anil Ravipudi is such a people's director. He understands how to connect with his team emotionally. That's the mark of a good leader. The combination of Chiru, Venky, and Nayanthara is a dream cast. Hope the film lives up to the hype!

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. Ravipudi's last few films felt very formulaic. The "mass family entertainer" tag is getting repetitive in Tollywood. I hope this film brings something fresh to the table, especially with such legendary actors.

The fact that Nayanthara agreed to promote says a lot about the film's content and the director's vision. She's very selective. The emotional scenes with the kids sound lovely. Telugu cinema needs more good family stories.

Finally! Venkatesh and Chiranjeevi together on screen. This is history in the making for Telugu fans. The producers have put together a solid technical team too. Bheems' music is always a plus. Booking my tickets for tomorrow first show!

It's refreshing to hear a director talk about emotional connection with the team, not just box office numbers. Nayanthara is the queen for a reason. Her choices are always strong. Wishing the entire team a blockbuster! 🎬
