The makers of Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu have taken a bold and step to protect the film from online negativity and digital manipulation. As seen on BookMyShow, the platform has officially displayed the message “Ratings & Reviews disabled as per court order”, confirming that audience ratings and reviews have been temporarily blocked.
This move was taken with the help of a court order, following concerns from the makers about fake reviews, targeted rating attacks, and online manipulation even before the film’s release. With social media and booking platforms increasingly influencing public opinion, the team decided to act early to safeguard the film’s theatrical prospects.
The decision has been implemented by the film’s producers and anti-piracy partners like Block BIGG and Aiplex, who teamed up to take a strong stand against unfair digital practices. By disabling ratings and reviews during the crucial release window, the makers aim to ensure that the film is judged purely by audiences watching it in theatres, rather than by online campaigns or manipulated scores.
This stand from Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu against online negativity could set a new trend in the film industry, with other big films likely to consider similar legal protection to prevent premature online backlash. If successful, this strategy may change how reviews and ratings function on booking platforms during major releases.
Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, starring Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, is scheduled for release on January 12, 2026, and carries strong expectations among fans. The film is directed by Anil Ravipudi and is positioned as a full-fledged entertainer.
