Audience response to Guntur Kaaram
Guntur Kaaram made its way to the big screen with high expectations. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the hype and received a lukewarm response from the audience. People found it to be dull, old-fashioned, and predictable. However, everyone agreed that Mahesh Babu's acting was exceptional and saved the movie from sinking.

After Guntur Kaaram Mahesh Babu is all set to join hands with SS Rajamouli for a film that is tentatively titled SSMB29. The film is said to have a backdrop of a jungle and is touted to be a mass action flick. Additionally, the film will have historical and mythical references that are a trademark of Rajamouli films.
