The pre-release event for Hari Hara Veera Mallu was a grand affair in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. Here are the key highlights from the celebratory evening:
Pawan Kalyan's Deep Connect to Vizag: Power Star expressed his strong personal bond with Visakhapatnam, a city where he began his acting training under Satyanand and felt the support of its people during a past arrest.
From Deputy CM to Hero: PSPK emphasized he was speaking as "your hero" — Pawan Kalyan, not as the Deputy CM, underscoring his dedication to his film career despite his political role.
Nidhhi Agerwal's Dedication Praised: Pawan Kalyan specially thanked heroine Nidhhi for her significant efforts in promotions, stating her dedication moved him to participate despite his usual reluctance.
Film's Journey and Delays: Producer AM Rathnam initiated the project with director Krish, but the film faced delays due to COVID-19 and political circumstances.
Jyothi Krishna Takes the Helm: Due to unforeseen reasons, Krish couldn't complete the film, and Rathnam's son, Jyothi Krishna, stepped in as director, revising the script and completing the project efficiently.
Pawan Kalyan's Dual Role: Even after becoming Deputy CM, Pawan Kalyan ensured the film's smooth completion, actively participating in shoots and even choreographing an action sequence.
Cinema's Educational Role: Pawan Kalyan highlighted his belief that cinema should both entertain and educate, noting that Hari Hara Veera Mallu, set around the Kohinoor diamond, also touches upon Sanatana Dharma.
Keeravani's Confident Proclamation: Music director Keeravani confidently declared that HHVM would be a "festival for all Pawan Kalyan fans."
Team's Dedication Lauded: Director Jyothi Krishna praised Pawan Kalyan's passion and Nidhhi's five-year commitment to the film, attributing strong advance bookings to the team's hard work.
Dream Come True for Nidhhi: Nidhhi expressed her excitement at working with Pawan, calling it a "dream come true," and commended the entire team's efforts.
