Hyderabad: Mahesh Babu starrer Guntur Kaaram is having a fantastic run at the box office despite clashing with Teja Sajja's HanuMan, which is also minting big with its unexpected run. Both films were launched on the same day on January 12 and completed a week of its run on Friday. While Mahesh Babu's film is outperforming expectations, Teja Sajja's superhero flick is also performing well.
