Pawan Kalyan’s much-awaited period action drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu (HHVM) continues to make headlines — this time, unfortunately, for another delay. Touted as one of the most anticipated Telugu films, the project has seen its fair share of hurdles, and recent reports hint at yet another push in its release timeline.
Originally slated to hit the big screens on May 9, 2025, the film is now expected to be postponed again. According to a report by 123 Telugu, the delay is due to pending post-production work, and more notably, because Pawan Kalyan is reportedly dealing with back pain — leading to some scenes being left unfinished.
Fans, who have been waiting for updates with bated breath, have taken to social media platform X to voice their frustration and disappointment over the continuous setbacks. Hashtags related to the film and the actor trended as fans expressed both concern and impatience over the prolonged delay.
Despite the growing unrest among fans, there has been no official confirmation from the film’s team regarding the new release date.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu boasts a stellar cast including Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, Vikramjit Virk, Jisshu Sengupta, Dalip Tahil, and Anasuya Bharadwaj alongside Pawan Kalyan. The film is being directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A.M. Jyothi Krishna, with a powerful score composed by the legendary MM Keeravani.
The movie has already seen several delays in the past, largely due to Pawan Kalyan’s busy political schedule. This recent development only adds to the uncertainty surrounding the film’s release.
On a personal note, the actor recently made headlines when his 8-year-old son, Mark Shankar, suffered injuries in a fire accident in Singapore. Pawan Kalyan, along with his wife Anna Lezhneva, returned to Hyderabad soon after the incident, drawing significant media attention.
As fans await an official update, the wait for Hari Hara Veera Mallu continues, albeit with a mix of anticipation and disappointment.
