More about Guntur Kaaram

Featuring Mahesh Babu, Sreeleela, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Ramya Krishnan, Prakash Raj, and Jayaram in the lead, Guntur Kaaram was produced with a substantial budget of ₹200 crore. Despite facing negative to mixed reviews on its opening day, the film managed to achieve breakeven by its 12th day. Producer Naga Vamsi reassured the public and highlighted the film's success in Andhra Pradesh that surpassed expectations in comparison to Nizam and overseas markets.

The narrative of Guntur Kaaram revolves around Ramana (played by Mahesh), a rowdy with a tumultuous family background on a quest to uncover the reason behind his mother's abandonment years ago. On the other hand, HanuMan is a story of Hanumanthu (Teja) who is a small-time thief who acquires superpowers after discovering a totem in his village.

The unexpected success of HanuMan against a tough contender like Guntur Kaaram emphasises the ever-changing dynamics of the film industry and the ability of smaller budget films to resonate with audiences. While HanuMan makers have announced a sequel to their film titled Jai Hanuman, there is no news of Guntur Kaaram’s upcoming part.
