After months — and years, some would argue — of deafening silence, Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited period action drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu is finally back in the limelight. The big-budget extravaganza, which was stuck in a labyrinth of delays after the actor’s non-availability owing to his political engagements, is once again picking up momentum.
In a big relief to the fans and stakeholders, Power Star completed his parts of the movie recently, and indications are that the long journey towards the end may not be far away. Now that the principal shoot is over, the post-production machinery is in full swing, and the hype is building towards what is potentially one of Telugu cinema’s most buzzed-about releases of 2025.
Pawan Kalyan Winds Up His Shoot, Clears The Way For Release
The Hari Hara Veera Mallu shooting had encountered successive delays in the past two years. First announced as a historical adventure movie with the backdrop of the Mughal period, the film created monumental buzz because of its novel theme and Pawan Kalyan’s comeback in a heroic, grand avatar. But with Pawan Kalyan being fully occupied with his political activities for Jana Sena, allocating time for shooting was a Herculean task.
Fans had become restless, and rumors of shelving or indefinite postponements made the rounds on social media. But in a dramatic twist, Pawan spent some time recently completing all his pending scenes, apparently shooting for major action blocks and emotional scenes that make up the core of the film’s storyline. This has shifted the project out of limbo into a full-fledged post-production stage.
Release Date Buzz: June 12th on the Cards
Although nothing has been officially confirmed, trade insiders firmly believe that the producers have finalized June 12th as the worldwide release date of the movie. Sources within the production team indicated that a formal announcement could reach us as early as tomorrow, when a big press meet is being planned to meet the media and spark the promotional campaign.
With the pent-up enthusiasm for the movie, the confirmation of a definite release date can be the ideal springboard for a blitzkrieg of promotional and marketing measures, such as teaser releases, audio releases, and peeks behind the scenes. The crew is aware that time is ticking, and meeting fan expectations is now the highest priority.
Expectations Sky-High Despite Delays
What is surprising — and maybe heartening — is that the word of mouth on Hari Hara Veera Mallu has been uniformly high, even though the movie languished in production limbo for so long. Krish Jagarlamudi directs and AM Ratnam produces the film, which offers an epic saga of history, mythology, and high-energy action. The rich setting, grand sets, and brooding storyline have only enhanced its aura.
Also, Pawan Kalyan has not had a big theatrical release in the recent past, and there is a pent-up demand in Telugu for a big-screen experience. With no big star-studded releases in the recent past, Hari Hara Veera Mallu can gain hugely from this timing, provided that the release date remains unchanged.
Trade experts opine that if the film connects with people just with its teaser and promo material, it will open enormous box office business in Telugu-speaking states and even in pan-India circuits. Given the big budget and production scale involved, a good opening at the box office is imperative, and the box office collection will be an important factor in recovering expenses.
Press Meet and Promotions: Success Mantra
The producers appear to realize the urgency and are arranging a big press meet to relaunch the project into public view. This will most probably feature the main cast and crew, such as director Krish, producer AM Ratnam, and Pawan Kalyan himself, if his political schedule allows.
The press conference will be crucial — not only for announcing the release date but also for establishing the tone of the film’s last bit of promotion. A good teaser or a special video cut with Pawan in his period attire could immediately go viral and revive colossal interest.
With first impressions being more crucial than ever in today’s digital world, Hari Hara Veera Mallu can have an enormous digital and theatrical presence in the lead-up to its release with the proper visuals and messaging.
All Eyes on the Power Star
Pawan Kalyan is still a force to be reckoned with — at both the political and cinematic levels. His recent appearances have been met with mixed reactions, but the sheer magnitude of his starpower still commands attention cut across demographics. Hari Hara Veera Mallu has fans looking for a glimpse of him displaying a combination of heroism and historical seriousness, something that is seldom attempted in Telugu cinema.
In addition, the movie is Krish’s return to historical films, a genre he had mastered earlier with Gautamiputra Satakarni. Blending Krish’s narrative skill with Pawan Kalyan’s screen presence is a winning combination that can be a rich cinematic experience — as long as everything falls into place so smoothly.

Conclusion: A Historic Film Poised for Comeback
With its arduous journey through delays and ifs, Hari Hara Veera Mallu now appears to be on the fast track. The nearing shoot completion, the hype about a confirmed release date, and the upcoming press meet all indicate that the hush-hush regarding the film is about to be broken — loudly and assertively.
With fans holding their breath for the official word, the Telugu cinema world is waiting in anticipation. Will Hari Hara Veera Mallu emerge as a cinematic milestone or will its prolonged wait mar its grandeur?
Either way, the comeback of Pawan Kalyan on the silver screen in a historical role is set to be one worth the wait. If things go according to plan, the 12th of June might not only witness the release of a much-delayed movie — but the return of myth, action, and mass entertainment to Telugu cinema.
