In an astonishing turn of events, recent unsubstantiated rumors have begun circulating, suggesting that Pawan Kalyan's highly anticipated magnum opus, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu,' is struggling to find buyers. Such claims defy logic, given Pawan Kalyan's unparalleled stature as a brand and a phenomenon in Telugu cinema, where his film releases are nothing short of a festive occasion. The notion that his prestigious pan-India venture is facing buyer issues is, quite frankly, incredible.
One can only wonder whose self-serving interests lie behind these concerted efforts to spread misinformation about 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu.'
A Project of Unprecedented Scale and Expectation
'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' marks several firsts for Pawan Kalyan: his debut pan-India film and his first portrayal of a historical warrior. The visuals promise a fresh and never-before-seen avatar for the star. Produced by Mega Surya Productions, the film has spared no expense, featuring magnificent sets and cutting-edge graphics, all backed by a massive budget.
While initially slated for a January 2022 release after commencing in late 2020, the film has faced considerable delays due to various factors. The extent of this journey can be gauged by the fact that three other Pawan Kalyan films—Vakeel Saab, Bheemla Nayak, and Bro—have already been released since 'Veera Mallu' was announced. This five-year-long journey, combined with its status as a period film, has naturally led to an increased budget.
Business Buzz: Strong Demand, Strategic Negotiations
It's common knowledge that Pawan Kalyan's films command enormous business in Telugu cinema. Given that 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is the most ambitious and highest-budget historical film of his career, producers are naturally quoting premium prices, reflecting its immense scale. Contrary to the false propaganda, numerous buyers are indeed showing keen interest in acquiring the film's rights and are actively engaged in discussions with the producers.
It's standard industry practice for producers to negotiate deals, aiming to secure prices that align with their investment. The assertion that 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' lacks buyers is simply untrue. The reality is that many buyers are ready, and producers are in the midst of negotiating the most suitable deals. Yet, a select few are deliberately propagating the falsehood that 'Veera Mallu' has no takers.
Elevating Telugu Cinema: A Call for Support
Films like 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' are crucial for elevating the stature of Telugu cinema on a national and international level. Much like the Baahubali franchise, which took several years across two parts but undeniably propelled Telugu cinema to global recognition, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is poised to be a similar landmark. While this single part may have taken five years due to unforeseen circumstances, it represents a rare historical epic in Telugu cinema.
It is incumbent upon everyone to support such ambitious projects. Embracing films like 'Veera Mallu' can further enhance the standing of Telugu cinema and pave the way for more great ventures.
Unfortunately, attempts are being made to undermine the film's potential and Pawan Kalyan's stature by spreading rumors of "no buyers, no buzz, financial troubles, and refunds." Regrettably, some sections of the media and social media are unwittingly amplifying these false narratives.
It is vital to remember that filmmaking is a collective endeavor, involving hundreds of crores of investment and the hard work of thousands of individuals whose livelihoods depend on it. Disseminating unverified information based on hearsay is irresponsible. The media, in particular, must exercise restraint and prioritize verifying facts. Spreading baseless rumors about a film starring an undisputed superstar like Pawan Kalyan, claiming a lack of buyers without proper due diligence, is highly unwarranted.
In truth, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' boasts a buzz that surpasses Pawan Kalyan's previous films, extending beyond Telugu states, with intense competition for its rights in other languages. Despite the delays, 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' is poised to be a resounding answer to all its critics.
If possible, one should support quality cinema. Otherwise, silence is preferable. But under no circumstances should one attempt to diminish the stature of a great film.
