Guntur Kaaram: Mahesh Babu breaks silence on his controversial 'Beedi' scene in action drama

Mahesh Babu revealed that smoking beedi for 'Guntur Kaaram' gave him migraines. THIS is how the director helped the star

Mahesh Babu recently shared details about the smoking scenes he filmed for his latest film, 'Guntur Kaaram.' He, who played a rowdy don in the film, made it clear that he is not in favor of smoking. The South superstar revealed in an interview that he developed migraines for the first time after smoking 'beedi' for the film Haarika And Hassine Creations, who supported the film. He said: 'I do not smoke and will not encourage smoking. It was an Ayurvedic beedi made from clove leaves. Initially they gave me a real beedi and I got a migraine. I went to tell Trivikram (Srinivas) and he thought about what to do.”

Director Trivikram Srinivas did his research for Mahesh and got an 'ayurvedic beedi'. The actor revealed that it tasted like mint and was made from clove leaves. He added, “Then he researched and bought this Ayurvedic beedi for me, which I liked. It was made from clove leaves and had a mint flavor. There was no tobacco in it (sic).”

Mahesh Babu recently welcomed the Guntur Kaaram team at his home on Sankranti, turning the joyful event into a successful celebration. Mahesh Babu posted a picture of the celebration on Instagram. He appeared in it along with his wife Namrata Shirodkar and the entire cast of the film, which also included Naga Vamsi, Meenakshi Chaudhary, producer Dil Raju and his wife Tejaswini.
