The Unexpected link of Hari Hara Veera Mallu with Exhibitors and Distributors Issues
The issue between exhibitors and producers escalated in recent days, and there was even the thought of a theatrical shutdown from June 1, which was later dismissed by producers like Dil Raju and Allu Aravind.
Unexpectedly, this whole issue was linked with Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which was scheduled to be released on 12 June 2025, but the film was postponed from that date.
