Despite controversies, Pawan Kalyan's upcoming film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is generating significant excitement among audiences. The film is scheduled to release in theaters on July 24, 2025.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu: The highly anticipated film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' starring South superstar and Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan has been consistently in the news. While the film has faced controversies recently, Pawan Kalyan has simultaneously set a new record with this project.
Despite the disputes surrounding the film, the anticipation remains high, and even before its release, the film has already secured a pre-release business of 150 crore rupees. This is considered the biggest deal of Pawan Kalyan's career so far.
Significant Earnings from Theater Rights in Telugu States
The theatrical rights of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' have been sold for 150 crore rupees in the Telugu states. This information was provided by Hindustan Times, citing a source close to the film's production team. This deal is considered significant in Telugu cinema. According to reports, the film needs to earn at least 150 crore rupees at the box office to be considered a hit.
OTT Rights Also Part of a Major Deal
The digital rights (OTT Rights) of 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' were previously acquired by Prime Video. The digital rights were finalized for 75 crore rupees nearly three years ago when the film was announced. However, due to delays in release and controversies, the OTT deal price was reduced by 10 crore rupees.
Thus, the final deal was settled at 65 crore rupees. Nevertheless, combining both theater and digital rights, the film has already crossed approximately 215 crore rupees in pre-release business.
Why Was There Controversy Surrounding the Film?
In recent months, several Bahujan Samaj organizations protested against 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu.' They alleged that the film distorted historical facts, which could hurt the sentiments of a particular community. As a result, threats were issued to prevent the film's release. However, the filmmakers clarified that the film is a fictional story and does not intend to offend any community.
The film is directed by AM Jyothi Krishna. This action-drama film marks Pawan Kalyan's first major return to the big screen after becoming Deputy CM.
