0

Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu is hitting the screens on June 12, 2025. The film’s USA bookings also started on a strong note, much to the happiness of fans. However, the industry is in an unexpected mess during the Hari Hara Veera Mallu release time.

A New Issue Rises for Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu Before Release

As said above, HHVM, produced by AM Ratnam, went on floors 5 years back, and finally it is getting released in theaters worldwide in another three weeks, after all the delays, but at this point some mess is happening in the industry.

The theater owners/exhibitors in Telugu states have been facing many issues for years, and they tried to solve it by thinking of theater shutdowns. At first, it was just an idea and was not officially declared by any association.

Exhibitors’ Theaters Strike Call Coincides with Hari Hara Veera Mallu Release Time

The exhibitors spoke about the issues and conducted a meeting for a long time. At that time no one even knows about the release date of Hari Hara Veera Mallu. However, producers like Dil Raju and Suresh Babu conducted a meeting with some exhibitors a couple of weeks back, in which they hinted at the theater shutdown from June 1.

Theaters Strike turns into a Political Issue

The unlucky part is, all this drama, including the theaters strike, happened at the time of Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s release. Also, the Janasena Party MLA and AP Cinematography Minister officially stated that four big people in the industry tried to create trouble for the film.

This made the situation even worse, and today an official letter was released from Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan’s office. He was seriously hurt by the industry people as they have not met the CM, Chandra Babu Naidu, and he also addressed the issues in the industry.

He said that the exhibitors are not paying the taxes properly and are even not maintaining the theaters properly and stated that a new law/policy will be released for the movie industry.

Because of all this, the industry is in an unexpected mess during Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu release time. Producers like Bunny Vas and Naga Vamsi responded to the issue and said that the industry people should behave with common sense when dealing with big issues.

Now, we need to see how the issue finally unfolds or how the tension escalates to any other issue.

As said above, Deepika Padukone was initially set to play the female lead in the film, but reportedly she walked out of the project due to scheduling conflicts and creative differences. Now, in a few days, Triptii Dimri, who has previously worked with Sandeep Reddy Vanga in Animal alongside Ranbir Kapoor, has been roped in to play the heroine role.

With Kabir Singh and Animal, Sandeep Vanga scored massive blockbusters despite facing controversial opinions or reviews for both films. The expectations are sky-high on Spirit, as it stars pan-Indian star Prabhas as the main lead.

0

Pawan Kalyan’s office (the Office of Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh) released an official letter/note addressing the Telugu Film Industry and asked them some crucial questions. Pawan Kalyan fires on the Telugu Cinema Industry.

The AP Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan said that the industry has given him a return gift. Even after one year of the formation of the NDA government in Andhra Pradesh pointed out that the representatives of Telugu film associations did not meet CM Chandrababu Naidu. 

Pawan Kalyan recalls the previous government’s misdeeds towards the industry

Pawan recalled the previous government’s behavior towards the film industry and asked, Did the industry forget how the top actors were insulted by the previous government?” The Deputy CM made it clear that from now on, there will be no more personal talks with the government. 

The DPCMO made it clear that the representatives of the film associations should come to meet him for any help or welfare activities and firmly stated that the coalition government is not interested in dealing with individuals, but it will work towards the development of the entire film industry.

Telugu Film Industry Should Stay United – AP Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan

According to Pawan Kalyan, the Telugu film industry should be given industry status, and the dignity of the actors or the people who work for it should not be disturbed. He lashed out at the film industry, as it did not give the minimum respect and gratitude towards the Government of Andhra Pradesh. 

Even after one year of the formation of the NDA coalition government, the Telugu film associations have not even once met the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Chandrababu Naidu. Except for coming together to meet just during the release of their films, the film industry has not come together for development. Deputy Chief Minister Shri Pawan Kalyan suggested that everyone should come together, but no one has responded positively.

Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan lashes out on Telugu Film Industry

“Organizations like the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce, Producers Council, and the Movie Artists’ Association seem to have forgotten how the previous government had harassed the top actors and technicians of the Telugu film industry. Even before the elections, the alliance parties had clearly stated that apart from giving all kinds of incentives to films made with an investment of crores of rupees, the dignity of those involved in this business, where creativity is associated, should not be disturbed.

Why do the people from the Telugu film industry come in person at the time of the release of their film and ask for a hike in the ticket price? Sri Pawan Kalyan has advised everyone to come together and discuss with the government, and the same was conveyed to the producers, Sri Dil Raju, Sri Allu Aravind, Sri D. Suresh Babu, Mrs. Y. Supriya, Sri Chinababu, Sri C. Ashwaneedat, and Sri Naveen Yerneni. 

However, the producers came personally and have applied to the Department of Cinematography to raise ticket prices for their films. The government also responded positively.”

Pawan Kalyan also talks about the Disparities in the Tax Payment from the Theater Leaseholders

Pawan Kalyan fires on the Telugu cinema industry and points out the internal issues of the film industry. The Deputy CM office also stated that the theaters are not being operated by the relevant owners and the highest amount of the theaters is in the hands of the leaseholders. 

It also asked about the disparity in paying the taxes from the leaseholders. The tax department has also directed whether or not the tax revenue has increased when prices for various films have increased. The income from theaters in Rayalaseema districts was discussed on this occasion, along with the gap between the ticket sales and the tax paid.

All these developments took place just before the release of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring AP Deputy Chief Minister and Power Star Pawan Kalyan, which made it political because of a few reports.

The names of some of the Telugu producers who are ruling the distribution of the film in the Telugu states have come out. There has been a debate in Film Nagar that they are the ones who are leading the story by calling for a shutdown of theaters. Quickly, this news spread in film circles that four big producers are behind this issue.

Bollywood film, Sikandar starring Salman Khan released recently. The film also starred Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal in pivotal roles. But it failed miserably at the box office becoming a big disaster. The film has grossed more than 150 crores worldwide. Sikandar is now set for its OTT streaming.

The film will stream on the leading OTT Giant, Netflix, from tonight in Hindi. The makers hope to establish a record in the OTT space, unlike its theatrical performance. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss the film was produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

Sikandar’s result was a big roadblock to Salman Khan, who has been struggling to deliver a blockbuster in recent times. His previous film, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan too didn’t make a noise at the box office. He hasn’t confirmed his next film, and fans and audience have to adjust with Sikandar’s OTT version for now.

Recently, Pawan Kalyan’s OG makers gave a hint that the film will be released on September 26, 2025. Reportedly, they have taken confirmation from the Akhanda sequel’s team and informed the distributors that they are coming in the same slot.

Akhanda 2 to arrive in December?

So, the latest buzz in the Telugu film industry is that Balakrishna-Boyapati’s Akhanda 2 is getting released in December. As the film is being planned for a big pan-India release, the movie needs a solo release date to get maximum collections.

So, December could be a good season for Akhanda’s sequel, and the first part of the film was also released in December and achieved a blockbuster success. That sentiment can work well for the film, and it can repeat the huge success.
