Guntur Kaaram: Highly Inflammable (pronounced [ɡʊɳʈuːɾ kaːɾʌm]; transl. The Spice of Guntur) is a 2024 Indian Telugu-language action drama film written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas and produced by S. Radha Krishna through Haarika & Hassine Creations. It features Mahesh Babu in the lead role, alongside Jayaram, Ramya Krishna, Prakash Raj, Sreeleela, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Easwari Rao, Jagapathi Babu, Sunil and Rao Ramesh. The film was officially announced in May 2021 under the tentative title SSMB28, as it is Babu's 28th film in the leading role, and the official title was announced in May 2023. Principal photography commenced in September 2022, predominantly shot in Hyderabad, and wrapped by late-December 2023. The film's score and soundtrack are composed by Thaman S, with cinematography handled by Manoj Paramahamsa and editing handled by Naveen Nooli. Guntur Kaaram was released in theatres worldwide on 12 January 2024, coinciding with Sankranti, to mixed-to-negative reviews from the critics and audience alike. Trivikram's direction and screenplay were highly criticized, while Babu's performance was unanimously acclaimed. It eventually grossed around 172-212 crores worldwide against its budget of ₹200 crores, becoming a below-average grosser. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
