Mahesh Babu, the superstar of Tollywood, is back this Sankranti season with a full-on commercial entertainer titled ‘Guntur Karam’. Written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas, the film has generated a lot of buzz among fans who are eager to see Mahesh Babu return to his mass avatar after a string of message-oriented films.
The songs from the film have received a decent response, and the trailer has only heightened expectations. Fans are excited to see Mahesh Babu back on the big screen in a mass role, and the U/A certificate with no cuts (except for a few muted words) further adds to the anticipation.
The film’s runtime of 159 minutes is considered decent, especially considering Trivikram’s penchant for laid-back narration and dramatic/emotional scenes. While the trailer makes it clear that ‘Guntur Karam’ is a popcorn entertainer with Mahesh Babu at the forefront, audiences aren’t expecting anything groundbreaking in terms of the story.
The supporting cast of the film includes Prakash Raj, Jagapathi Babu, Vennela Kishore, Eeshwari Rao, Ramya Krishnan, Rao Ramesh, and others. Sreeleela is the main heroine, while Meenakshi Choudhary will be seen in the Trivikram mark ‘Mardhalu’ role. Thaman has composed the music for the film, while Manoj Paramahamsa is the cinematographer. Navin Nooli has edited the film, and China Babu has produced it under the Haarika & Hassine Creations banner.
‘Guntur Karam’ is all set to hit the screens worldwide on January 12, 2024.
