The storyline of the film centres around the leader of Guntur City’s criminal underworld, who becomes romantically involved with a journalist trying to expose the city’s illegal operations.
Veteran comedian Brahmanandam takes on a significant role in this film. With Jagapathi Babu as the antagonist and a star-studded cast including Ramya Krishna, Raghubabu, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Jayaram, and others, Guntur Kaaram has generated high expectations as a pan-India family entertainer. Netflix has secured the post-theatrical digital rights, and overseas rights are in demand at a staggering 23 crore.
Expectations are soaring high for this upcoming movie. Trivikram Srinivas, known for hits like Aravinda Sametha with NTR and Ala Vaikunthapuramulo, is directing this film under the Harika Hasini banner.
