Telugu cinema’s renowned actor, Mahesh Babu, is setting new benchmarks as he prepares to charm the audience with his next project, ‘Guntur Kaaram,’ under the directorial guidance of Trivikram. The actor, known for his impactful performances, is reportedly set to bag an astounding paycheck of Rs 78 Crore for his role in this highly anticipated film.
With his consistent track record of delivering blockbuster hits, Mahesh Babu has become one of the most bankable stars in the industry. According to reports by Siasat.com, he has now achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the highest-paid non-pan India star.
‘Guntur Kaaram’ is a highly-awaited venture, backed by a tentative budget of Rs 200 Crore, promising to offer an extravagant cinematic experience to the audience. Alongside Mahesh Babu, the film features the talented actresses Meenakshi Chaudhary and Sreeleela in pivotal roles.
Previously, the film was slated to star Pooja Hegde as one of the female leads. However, she chose to step away from the project due to script changes and fluctuating shooting timelines. Subsequently, Meenakshi Chaudhary was roped in as the replacement, adding to the excitement surrounding the film.
Mahesh Babu’s journey of blockbuster successes began with the 2015 movie ‘Srimanthudu,’ and ever since, each of his films has been a hit at the box office. This unwavering success has positioned him as one of the highest-earning actors in the Telugu film industry.
‘Guntur Kaaram’ is scheduled to hit the screens during the festive occasion of Sankranthi in 2024. However, there have been reports of the film’s shooting experiencing several breaks, which may potentially lead to a delay in the release date.
Back in May, Mahesh Babu delighted his legion of fans by unveiling the film’s title and teaser on his Instagram handle. The occasion was made even more special as the actor paid a heartfelt tribute to his father, Ghattamaneni Siva Rama Krishna, on his birth anniversary.
As fans eagerly await the release of ‘Guntur Kaaram,’ Mahesh Babu continues to prove why he remains an iconic figure in the world of Telugu cinema, captivating hearts with his unparalleled talent and screen charisma.
