The highly anticipated movie Guntur Kaaram, featuring superstar actor Mahesh Babu and directed by Trivikram Srinivas, is scheduled to release in cinemas on the 12th of January 2024, coinciding with the festive occasion of Sankranti.

Based on the most recent updates, it appears that the movie draws inspiration from the Telugu novel Keerthi Kireetalu penned by Yaddanapudi Sulochana Rani. The narrative revolves around Rajya Lakshmi, a gifted vocalist and skilled dancer, who attains recognition for her talents but eventually faces a downfall in her life.

Interestingly, this is not the first time Trivikram has adapted novels of Yaddanapudi Sulochana Rani into films. He previously took inspiration from her novel Meena and loosely incorporated it into his film A...Aa, which featured Nithiin, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Anupama Parameshwaran in the main roles.

Though it has not been confirmed yet, some netizens believe that Guntur Kaaram is the story of Keerthi Kireetalu and speculate Ramya Krishnan’s character is that of the protagonist in the novel.




Furthermore, the movie's trailer just dropped and it's causing quite a stir online. It showcases Mahesh in a gritty local setting, packed with intense action scenes and hard-hitting dialogues. This film appears to revive the same electrifying energy seen in his past collaborations with the director, such as Athadu and Khaleja.
