₹250 Crore Budget For Hari Hara Veera Mallu : AM Jyothi Krishna

The much-awaited Hari Hara Veera Mallu has officially been postponed yet again, with the makers releasing a statement confirming the delay. While a new release date is yet to be finalized, the team continues to promote the film actively. Director AM Jyothi Krishna and heroine Nidhhi Agerwal graced the ‘Machilipatnam Beach Fest’ in Bandhar (Machilipatnam) today, where several NDA leaders were also in attendance.

Addressing the crowd, Jyothi Krishna dropped some exciting updates about the film. “People feel jealous of me because I’m working with Pawan Kalyan,” he said. “He trusts me, and I hope I’ve lived up to it. He didn’t just watch the film once—he watched it three times. He even appreciated the film for an hour and said he’d love to work with me again,” he added. The director also revealed that the Asura Hananam sequence, composed by MM Keeravaani, has been watched over 500 times by Pawan.

The director stunned the audience by revealing the film’s whopping ₹250 crore budget. “AM Rathnam garu has spent ₹250 Cr to bring this story to life, and I thank him for mounting it on such a massive scale,” he said. Jyothi Krishna spoke about an epic action block shot around the historic Bandhar Port, which involved two years of VFX work. “India will be shaken by that sequence,” he promised. Pawan Kalyan trained in martial arts just for this scene. Calling it a ‘seize the ship’-like moment, he hinted at a visual high point.

In a delightful reveal, the director shared that Pawan Kalyan lent his voice for a folk number titled Maata Vinali. “Instead of a dance number, I felt it was more impactful to let him sing something meaningful. We recorded it in Vijayawada,” he said.

Produced by A. Dayakar Rao under Mega Surya Production and presented by AM Rathnam, Hari Hara Veera Mallu stars Pawan Kalyan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Bobby Deol, with music by MM Keeravaani and visuals by Gnana Shekar V.S. and Manoj Paramahamsa.
