France Strikes ISIS Targets in Syria in Retaliation for Attacks

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad has emerged as a solid commercial success, and there is no denying that fact. The producers have made healthy profits, distributors are satisfied with good returns, and even the overflow revenues are working in the producers’ favor.

The film has reportedly become the highest grosser in Chiranjeevi’s filmography, which in itself is a genuine and unquestionable achievement. Ideally, the claims should have stopped there. However, the film’s team has begun making statements that are now raising eyebrows.

One such claim is that the film is an “all-time industry hit in regional cinema.” This naturally leads to confusion—what exactly does that imply? If the claim suggests that the film has surpassed all non–pan-India releases, the numbers do not seem to support it, as several films still stand ahead.

Even when considering Sankranthi releases alone, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo remains superior in terms of collections. If only Tollywood Sankranthi releases are taken into account, both Hanuman and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo are ahead.

Such exaggerated claims only encourage netizens to scrutinize box office figures more closely, inevitably leading to trolling. In fact, netizens are already pointing out that Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo collected over ₹20 crore in the Uttarandhra region, while Shankara Vara Prasad has reportedly collected less than ₹17 crore so far.
