Mahesh Babu's Sankranti release Guntur Kaaram is making all the right noise at the box office. To mark this success, the actor hosted a Makar Sankranti party at his residence in Hyderabad. In pictures shared on Mahesh's Instagram profile, the star is seen with his wife - former actress Namrata Shirodkar, his Guntur Kaaram co-stars Sreeleela and Meenakshi Chaudhary, as well as producers Naga Vamsi, Dil Raju, and Dil Raju's wife Tejaswini. While the men were dressed in their casual best, the women dazzled in ethnic ensembles. The happy bunch was all smiles as they posed for the pictures. Captioning the post, Mahesh Babu extended wishes to his fans and wrote, “Happy Sankranthi. Blockbuster celebrations #GunturKaaram.”
