The journey of Mahesh Babu’s film “Guntur Kaaram” has been marked by unexpected twists and turns since its initial announcement. Originally, Pooja Hegde was set to be the lead actress alongside Sreeleela as the second heroine. However, due to unknown reasons, Pooja had to step away from the project after some shooting, leading to Sreeleela taking on the role of the main female lead opposite Mahesh Babu. Meenakshi Chaudhary was subsequently cast as the second female lead.
Recently, leaked stills from the early shoot of “Guntur Kaaram” featuring Pooja Hegde and Sreeleela have surfaced, showcasing a unique perspective on the film’s casting dynamics. In these images, Sreeleela is seen portraying the role initially meant for Meenakshi, while Pooja is depicted in Sreeleela’s original role. This revelation has sparked speculation among fans, prompting questions about potential script changes that occurred after Pooja’s departure.
Fans are theorizing that script alterations might have occurred when Pooja Hegde stepped out, leading to a shift in focus within the storyline. The assumption is that, had Pooja remained on board, her character could have contributed to more potential scenes for the second lead, originally designated for Sreeleela. As a result, the leaked stills have added an extra layer of intrigue to the already unusual journey of “Guntur Kaaram,” from its initial announcement to its recent OTT release.
