Pawan Kalyan

Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited first pan-Indian film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, is all set for a global release tomorrow, with premieres kicking off tonight. Directed by Jyothi Krishna, this period action drama features Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead and brings Pawan Kalyan to the big screen in a majestic, larger-than-life role.

During a recent media interaction, Pawan Kalyan was asked why Hari Hara Veera Mallu has generated less buzz compared to his other upcoming films, They Call Him OG and Ustaad Bhagat Singh. In response, Pawan gave a candid and thoughtful reply, saying, “This film is underrated because today’s audience is more attracted to violence and grey-shaded characters. But my heroes are Krishna and Rama. People now lean more toward grey than black and white, that’s why there’s less hype around the film.”

Despite the low-key build-up, the tide has turned in recent days. Once Pawan began actively promoting the film, pre-release bookings surged, and day one collections are now projected to be sensational, especially across the Telugu states and major metros.

The film features a strong supporting cast including Nidhhi Agerwal, Bobby Deol, Nassar, Sunil, Vennela Kishore, and Sathyaraj. It is presented by A. M. Rathnam, produced by A. Dayakar Rao, and scored by M. M. Keeravaani.
