Superstar Mahesh Babu’s highly anticipated action drama ‘Guntur Karam’ is gearing up for a January 12th release, with the trailer launch slated for January 6th. Excitement surrounding the film has reached fever pitch, fueled by an aggressive promotional campaign and strategic song releases. However, a lingering question remained regarding the second female lead, Meenakshi Choudhary, whose presence seemed overshadowed by Sreeleela, the primary heroine.
The mystery finally dissipated on Wednesday with the release of a poster showcasing Meenakshi’s character, Raji. Dressed in a captivating half-saree, she stands behind Mahesh Babu, her hand resting on his shoulder. Fans were instantly captivated by her radiant beauty and graceful demeanor, many even voicing their preference for her pairing with Mahesh Babu over Sreeleela.
While Sreeleela holds the official title of “main heroine,” Meenakshi Choudhary’s allure is undeniable. Her stunning looks and undeniable screen presence, showcased in films like ‘Khiladi,’ have garnered her a significant fan base. Some even speculate that Meenakshi might outshine Sreeleela in ‘Guntur Karam,’ especially considering Sreeleela’s string of recent box office disappointments.
However, a cloud of uncertainty looms over Meenakshi’s role due to director Trivikram Srinivas’s past record of underutilizing second heroines. Films like ‘A Aa,’ ‘Attarintiki Daredi,’ and ‘S/o Satyamurthy’ all witnessed strong portrayals by their leading ladies, while the second heroines remained relatively sidelined. This trend continued in ‘Aravinda Sametha’ and ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramlo,’ leaving fans apprehensive about Meenakshi’s screen time in ‘Guntur Karam.’
Nevertheless, hope remains that Trivikram might break his pattern and offer Meenakshi a substantial and impactful role. Fans hold onto the possibility of her stealing the show with her mesmerizing screen presence and captivating charm.
Ultimately, the true potential of both Meenakshi and Sreeleela in ‘Guntur Karam’ will unfold with the film’s release on January 12th. Whether they shine equally, one steals the limelight, or Trivikram sticks to his past trends, one thing is certain – the presence of two talented actresses alongside Mahesh Babu adds even more spice to the anticipation surrounding this highly-awaited action spectacle.
