Mahesh Babu‘s highly anticipated film “Guntur Kaaram,” directed by Trivikram Srinivas, has been making headlines recently due to a series of rumours surrounding the project. After speculation of the film being shelved and reports of a fallout between Mahesh Babu and the director, the latest controversy revolves around the replacement of music composer S Thaman. Rumours suggest that Thaman has been replaced due to creative differences with the actor. However, the truth behind these rumours remains unconfirmed.
Rumours of Creative Differences and Replacement:
The internet is abuzz with rumours about alleged discord between S Thaman and Mahesh Babu regarding the music composition for “Guntur Kaaram.” According to reports, Thaman has been replaced by Anirudh Ravichander due to creative disagreements between the actor and the film’s team. The specific reasons for these differences have not been disclosed, but it is speculated that the decision to replace Thaman stemmed from delays in composing and delivering songs for the film.
Reports further suggest that Mahesh Babu initially did not want S Thaman as the music director for “Guntur Kaaram,” but Trivikram Srinivas convinced him otherwise. However, the authenticity of these claims remains uncertain. Adding fuel to the fire, Thaman’s recent cryptic posts on Twitter have only intensified speculation surrounding his replacement.
Background of “Guntur Kaaram”:
The shooting of “Guntur Kaaram” has faced multiple delays since its initial announcement, prompting various rumours and controversies. It was previously reported that Mahesh Babu expressed dissatisfaction with the script, leading to requests for revisions. Furthermore, there were claims of reshooting certain scenes involving actress Sreeleela and changing stunt masters. Additionally, rumours of conflicts between the actor and director also circulated, potentially contributing to speculation of the film’s shelving.
Film Production and Future Plans:
Despite the ongoing rumours, the shoot for “Guntur Kaaram” is expected to resume on June 25th in Hyderabad. The production team has scheduled an extensive shooting schedule involving the main cast. Mahesh Babu reunites with director Trivikram Srinivas after a decade, following their previous successful collaborations on blockbusters like “Athadu” and “Khaleja.” Pooja Hegde has been cast as the female lead, while Sreeleela will portray a pivotal character.
