Superstar Mahesh Babu’s upcoming film, “Guntur Karam,” is generating massive buzz ahead of its Sankranti release. Marking the third collaboration between Babu and director Trivikram Srinivas, the duo behind classics like “Athadu” and “Khaleja,” the film carries the weight of immense expectations. Fans are hoping for a hattrick of successful collaborations, and irrespective of the box office outcome, “Guntur Karam” is already generating significant excitement.
The film’s first glimpse and posters have enthralled fans, showcasing Mahesh Babu in a mass avatar, complete with a beedi. This action-packed persona has certainly resonated with his admirers, who are eager to see him unleash his signature screen presence. However, a slight undercurrent of negativity has emerged surrounding the film’s music. Although the song “Dum Biryani” received praise for its lyrics, some critics found the tune uncatchy. Similarly, “Oh My Baby” failed to garner a positive response.
Responding to this minor dip in sentiment, the “Guntur Karam” team has adopted a proactive approach, releasing a series of energetic posters to reignite anticipation. A vibrant still from the film’s mass song featuring Babu and Sreeleela has re-energized fans, while other posters showcasing Babu in a lungi with co-stars Raghubabu and Eeswari Rao, and a relaxed smoking beedi pose, have further fueled the excitement.
This strategic release of promotional material appears to be working, with fans eagerly awaiting the official release of the mass song and further glimpses into the film. The technical team behind “Guntur Karam” boasts established names like cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa, production designer AS Prakash, editor Navin Nooli, and action choreographers Ram-Laxman. The supporting cast also impresses, with Jagapathi Babu, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, and Ramya Krishnan lending their talent to the project.
Produced under the banner of “Haarika & Hassine Creations,” “Guntur Karam” also features Meenakshi Chaudhary as the second female lead. With a powerhouse team, a promising narrative, and Mahesh Babu’s undeniable star power, the film is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated releases of the season. While the lukewarm response to some songs has introduced a minor hurdle, the team’s quick and effective countermeasures have successfully refocused attention on the film’s positives. As the release date approaches, “Guntur Karam” is poised to captivate audiences and potentially mark another successful collaboration between Mahesh Babu and Trivikram Srinivas.
