Producer AM Ratnam had envisioned Hari Hara Veera Mallu as a grand cinematic spectacle starring Power Star Pawan Kalyan. Launched amidst huge hype and excitement, the film was expected to be a game-changer. However, the journey has been anything but smooth, with the project facing one setback after another.
Production Woes Continue to Haunt the Film
Despite AM Ratnam’s grand ambitions, the film has faced continuous roadblocks. From budget constraints to shooting delays caused by Pawan Kalyan’s active involvement in politics, the production has been marred by interruptions. Adding to the chaos were reshoots and even a change in the director. The movie, initially planned as a single feature, was eventually split into two parts, further complicating the process.
New Release Date Announced – But Will It Hold?
After multiple delays, the team finally locked May 9th as the official release date. Pawan Kalyan was expected to return to the sets to complete his portions. However, another unfortunate incident has struck—his son, Mark Shankar, suffered injuries in a fire accident, causing another disruption in the shoot schedule.
OTT Pressure Mounts on the Producer
Meanwhile, industry buzz suggests that Prime Video, which has acquired the film’s digital rights, is growing increasingly impatient with the continuous postponements. If the May 9th release is missed again, there’s a strong chance that the OTT platform may reconsider its association with the project—potentially resulting in massive financial pressure on AM Ratnam.
With less than a month to go before the planned release date, all eyes are now on the makers. Will Hari Hara Veera Mallu finally hit theaters as scheduled? Or will misfortune continue to plague this much-anticipated film?
