The year 2024 started with a high-voltage box office drama for Tollywood as two important films, Guntur Kaaram and HanuMan, arrived in a clash. Eventually, we saw how the Teja Sajja starrer proved its dominance and surprised everyone with its worldwide collection.

But now, upon its release on Netflix, the film is garnering the major attention of the viewers. Keep reading to know more!

After Sarkaru Vaari Paata, this was a comeback vehicle for Mahesh Babu after a gap of one and a half years.
