Leading Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu's next film is titled Guntur Kaaram, blockbuster production banner Haarika & Hassine Creations revealed in an action-packed promo on Wednesday. Initially called tentatively SSMB 28 and being directed by blockbuster Telugu filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas, the upcoming film's title announcement video features the superstar making a powerful entry in which he is seen sending shockwaves with his presence while taking out a few goons and making the remaining thugs tremble around him. The Guntur Kaaram title promo further shows Mahesh Babu in a red and black plaid shirt and black pants and smoking a beedi, with a red jeep behind him being lifted into the air and then crashing onto the ground causing a big explosion. The title video continues to show the actor dressed in black and black sunglasses, and once again smoking a beedi, with the promo ending with a dedication to his father, the late Telugu superstar 'Krishna' on his birth anniversary today.
Guntur Kaaram is touted to be a high-octane action entertainer with mass elements and is the third time Mahesh Babu and Trivikram Srinivas are collaborating after their earlier films, Athadu (2005) and Khaleja (2010). The film will see leading actress Pooja Hegde play the female lead, while youth sensation Sreeleela is appearing in a key role. Expectations for Guntur Kaaram are massive as it shows Mahesh Babu's character set amidst a more rooted backdrop, and fans expect him to deliver a complete and packaged entertainer with director Trikviram, whose last film, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, with Allu Arjun went on to become a phenomenal success. Composer Thaman. S is composing the songs and the background score once again for a Mahesh Babu venture after their previous collaboration, Sarkaru Vaari Paata, released last year had featured chart-topping hits tracks.
