Rumours have been afloat about Mahesh Babu asking the makers to rework the third single. However, producer Naga Vamsi put those to rest.

Ever since Trivikram Srinivas’ Guntur Kaaram went on floors, the film has been riddled with rumours. First, there was talk of scripts being reworked on, then Mahesh Babu was retained, but Pooja Hegde was replaced post her walkout. Sreeleela was made the main lead and Meenakshi Chaudhary was roped in to play the other lead. The second single, Oh My Baby, received criticism and now there’s talk that Mahesh has asked the makers to redo the third single from the film.

Producer Naga Vamsi released a statement on X, clarifying that despite rumours, the film’s shooting is progressing as planned. He wrote, “Super fans and movie lovers, #GunturKaaram film has 4 full songs and one bit song. We have finished shooting for 3 songs and one bit song. We are going to shoot for the last song from 21st December as per our schedule.”

He also urged fans not to indulge in gossip or believe rumours, writing, “The recent 'news' is fake and very monotonous ‘gossip’. Gossip mongers need your attention and they're spreading all sorts of fake news just for clicks. They know for which you would react. Just because we’re quiet doesn’t mean whatever they're spreading is right!”
