Superstar Mahesh Babu is against smoking scenes and he strictly implemented the same in all his recent films. But in Guntur Kaaram, he is seen smoking a beedi in most of the episodes. During his recent interview, Mahesh revealed that the beedi used in Guntur Kaaram is an ayurvedic one and is made of clove leaves. They are not made of tobacco, told Mahesh Babu.

“I don’t smoke and I don’t encourage smoking also. I was given a real beedi during the initial days of shoot and I was not comfortable. I used to get headache and I informed Trivikram. Then they found a solution and arranged an ayurvedic beedi. I was comfortable with it. There is no tobacco and it comes with a mint flavour” explained Mahesh Babu. Guntur Kaaram directed by Trivikram released during Sankranthi season. Sree Leela and Meenakshi Chaudhary are the leading ladies in Guntur Kaaram.
