Power Star Pawan Kalyan is all geared up to make a big comeback to the silver screen with his long-awaited period actioner Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which opens across the globe on June 12. The movie, which initially started production under the direction of Krish Jagarlamudi, owing to certain unexpected circumstances. Krish later quit the project and A.M. Jyothi Krishna stepped in to take the film across the finish line.
Even though he is one of the largest stars of Tollywood, the normal hysteria surrounding a Pawan Kalyan movie is absent this time. The industry people feel the long production cycle and sporadic promotional efforts are to blame for the weak buzz. But fans are hopeful that the pre-release hype will gain traction as the release nears.
Fueling the curiosity is speculation about Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri. She was previously rumored to play Roshanara Begum, one of the Mughal princesses, but her absence from promotions about the film has raised eyebrows online.
Now, putting all doubts to rest, producer A.M. Rathnam has officially clarified in a recent interview that Nargis Fakhri will not appear in Part 1 of the film. Instead, she plays a key role in Part 2, which is being planned as a continuation of the story.
The first part of Hari Hara Veera Mallu features Nidhhi Agerwal as the heroine, with Bobby Deol debuting as a strong Telugu villain.
With only days to go for release, hopes are high for Hari Hara Veera Mallu to make for a visual treat filled with historical drama, action, and Pawan Kalyan’s signature charm. The makers are now under the spotlight to intensify promotions and get the film the recognition it rightfully deserves.
