As the release date of the highly awaited historical action drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu draws near, Tollywood superstar and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan has shared some crucial insights about the film’s future. Scheduled to hit theatres on July 24, the film is being released in two parts, with the first installment titled HHVM: Sword vs Spirit.
During a media interaction held in Amaravati, Pawan Kalyan addressed the much-anticipated question of a sequel. He stated that the team is hopeful, but any decision about the second part will largely depend on the performance of part one at the box office and his availability. He humbly added, “We also need God’s blessings for the sequel to happen.”
Clarifying some speculation, the actor-turned-politician confirmed that Hari Hara Veera Mallu is a work of fiction and has no connection with the historical figure Sarvai Papanna. He also highlighted the many challenges the production faced due to the Covid pandemic and the aftermath of his political setback in the 2019 elections.
Speaking about his personal commitment to the film, Pawan revealed a rare gesture of dedication. “I have not taken any remuneration for this movie. I feel morally responsible to support and promote this project,” he said, acknowledging the tough circumstances faced by his producers.
The movie stars Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead, sharing screen space with Pawan Kalyan. Bollywood actor Bobby Deol plays the role of the fierce Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, adding star power to the project.
Directed by AM Jyoti Krishna, the film is backed by A Dayakara Rao under the presentation of veteran producer AM Rathnam. Celebrated music director MM Keeravani has composed the score, adding to the grandeur of the film.
With such an ambitious scale and an emotionally invested cast and crew, Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Sword vs Spirit promises to be more than just a cinematic experience — it’s a labor of passion, perseverance, and purpose.
