Mahesh Babu’s Massy Avatar
In a departure from his usual stylish and classy roles, Mahesh Babu undergoes a striking transformation into a gritty and robust character for Guntur Kaaram.

Adding an edgy touch, he’s seen effortlessly handling rolled cigarettes and taking on adversaries with flair. Fans are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of this new facet of Mahesh Babu on the cinematic canvas.
Sreeleela and Meenakshi Chaudhary’s Glamour and Romance
Taking on pivotal roles, Sreeleela and Meenakshi Chaudhary shine as the leading ladies in the film. Sreeleela steps into the character of Keerthi, a dedicated journalist striving to uncover the illicit activities prevalent in Guntur.
