Hari Hara Veera Mallu, the long-awaited period action drama starring Power Star Pawan Kalyan, has again faced a severe setback. Promised as a grand-scale period action drama, the film has been under development for the past few years and has already missed several release dates. Directed initially by Krish Jagarlamudi and then taken up by Jyothi Krishna, the movie has now turned out to be one of the most delayed projects in Pawan Kalyan’s life.
As per the recent industry gossip, Pawan Kalyan has apparently refunded an advance payment of ₹11 crore that he had taken for the project — a direct indication that the progress of the film has ground to a halt. To further muddy the waters, overseas distributors have even started offering refunds to viewers who had pre-booked tickets, leading to even more skepticism regarding the release date of the film.
Although the production unit has gone silent and is yet to make any announcement, all these developments clearly indicate that Hari Hara Veera Mallu is nowhere near release. This is a letdown to the fans who have been eagerly waiting for the theatrical release of the film.
Even with the letdown, the hope never fades among Pawan Kalyan’s huge fan following, who are now eagerly waiting for a new update or announcement of an amended release date. For the time being, all eyes are on the producers to shed some light on the fate of this long-pending magnum opus.
