Pawan Kalyan’s period action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu was set to release on March 28, 2024. The team had announced the date after several delays, keeping fans’ hopes high. But with February almost over, it seems unlikely that the film will meet this deadline. The crew had promised that the shoot would be completed in February, but a significant segment is still pending. Pawan Kalyan has not gone back to the sets, adding fuel to the rumors that the release will be postponed again.
The delay has left fans and insiders wondering about the fate of the film. Even with all the hype, incomplete work and a congested release window might compel the team to go back on their initial plans.
Unfinished Filming and Production Challenges
The directors had originally intended to finish all shooting schedules before February, giving them sufficient time for post-production. But almost a week of shooting is left to do, and the absence of Pawan Kalyan on the sets has caused the work to lag. To start post-production, which involves editing, dubbing, and VFX, the remaining sections cannot be completed.
Such a movie needs intensive visual effects and careful post-production to ensure high-quality output. Hurrying through it would impact the final product, so a hasty release is out of the question. Now the team is left with a crossroads decision: delay the release further or cut corners on quality.
Strengthening Competition within the Same Release Period
Even when Hari Hara Veera Mallu does release on March 28, it will get stiff competition. A number of big-ticket Telugu movies are releasing approximately around that time, and it will be hard for any one movie to capture the box office.
- Robinhood is another major Telugu movie, and it is also releasing on March 28.
- Mad Square, a movie produced by industry bigwigs, hits theaters on March 29.
Both the movies have already started aggressive promotions, and thus there is high expectation among audiences. If Hari Hara Veera Mallu is released in the same window without a strong promotional drive, it may find it difficult to draw audiences.
Big-Budget Dubbed Movies Bring Pressure
Besides Telugu movies, two big-budget dubbed movies are also releasing in the same time frame.
Mohanlal’s Empuraan, which is the long-awaited sequel of Lucifer, will be a multi-language release and attract viewers from all over India.
Veera Dheera Sooran, another high-budget action thriller by Vikram, is sure to be in hot competition.
These films getting good release dates, Hari Hara Veera Mallu may find it difficult to get the attention it needs. The producers now need to decide if they want to go ahead with the original plan or delay the release to the off-season.
Why Hari Hara Veera Mallu Continuously Gets Delayed
This is not the first delay for Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The film, which went on floors many years ago, has been rescheduled several times because of many reasons.
Pawan Kalyan’s Other Commitments
Pawan Kalyan maintains a balance of cinema and politics. His political commitments often bring about unplanned scheduling issues, causing delays in shooting.
Severe VFX Needs
The movie, which is based in a historical setting, is dependent on visual effects. Good post-production work is time-consuming, and any incomplete VFX can make a delay inevitable.
Logistical and Production Issues
Working with a large-scale period film involves several logistical challenges, such as location availability, action choreography, and coordination of costumes. These have already led to earlier delays.
Will the Team Release a New Release Date?
The largest question is now whether or not the creators will officially state a delay. The production staff has yet to comment, which has left viewers in anticipation. With several industry reports indicating the film will not be completed until after March 28, everyone expects a postponement.
If the team decides to postpone the release, they need to carefully pick a new date so as not to conflict with other big films. Summer season provides a better window of opportunity, since fewer big-budget Telugu releases are planned after April.

Fans Await Clarity
Despite frequent delays, people are still looking forward to watching Pawan Kalyan’s act in Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The movie is going to be an action-packed epic drama, and anticipation is high. Nevertheless, the continuous delays have begun to test the patience of the audience.
An official word from the filmmakers one way or the other would relieve anxieties and allow fans to plan accordingly. Until then, there is much speculation about the film releasing in March or being pushed back once again.
With a huge budget, historical grandeur, and Pawan Kalyan in the starring role, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has massive expectations. The next few weeks will tell whether the team will manage to bring out the release on schedule or another delay is on the cards.
