Moreover, it was previously reported that Mahesh Babu will be playing the role inspired by the characterization of Lord Hanuman from Hindu mythology, which is a norm in SS Rajamouli’s films as he is rooted in telling stories like that. The film is reportedly being made as a two-part franchise, which will span over four years, though an official confirmation about the same has yet to be made.

Mahesh Babu has teamed up with director Trivikram Srinivas for the film Guntur Kaaram, marking their third collaboration after blockbuster films like Athadu and Khaleja. The film is said to be a masala entertainer flick with Sreeleela and Meenakshii Chaudhary playing the lead female roles.

The film also has an ensemble cast of actors like Jagapathi Babu, Ramya Krishnan, Jayaram, Easwari Rao, Prakash Raj, and many more. The film’s music is composed by S Thaman, with Manoj Paramahamsa handling the camera with Naveen Nooli editing the film.
