Despite facing setbacks and "relentless negativity" over five years, the makers of Hari Hara Veera Mallu are confident in a blockbuster. Director AM Jyothi Krishna, producer AM Ratnam, and the team today asserted Pawan Kalyan's stardom guarantees success, promising a historical epic that will elevate him to "Real Star" status. HHVM will hit the cinemas on July 24th.
Director AM Jyothi Krishna said, "The thoofan has arrived. Some people have been making negative comments about our movie from the start. The project faced two major setbacks in the last five years but we didn't budge. Despite Pawan Kalyan garu's political ascension, negative comments have continued to be made against Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The relentless negativity hasn't affected our movie a wee bit. The love of the fans remains the same. The budget is never too high for Pawan Kalyan garu's stardom. AM Ratnam garu has always produced huge movies. HHVM is no different in terms of scale. In 2001, Kushi became an industry hit. Gabbar Singh became an industry hit. That's Power Star for you. HHVM will prove itself with a 100% strike rate. Krish Jagarlamudi garu laid the ground for HHVM. I thank him on this occasion. Director Trivikram garu has stayed with us through ups and downs. Thanks for his time."
AM Ratnam said, "This is the first proper action-based pan-Indian film from Pawan Kalyan garu. It was my dream to make a film of this sort since Kushi. Kalyan garu has watched the trailer seven times. Once this film is released, its range will go up like anything. It will remind the audience of history. Recently, until Chhaava released, not many knew about Sambhaji. Many were moved to tears while watching it. Similarly, HHVM will create such an emotion. Hitherto, you have been hyped about OG. After today's tailer, HHVM's range is now out in the open. Kalyan garu has appreciated Jyothi Krishna for toiling hard. The film is going to be many times better than today's trailer. Songs in all my films have been chartbusters. The songs in HHVM have become popular. After HHVM, Power Star will be called 'Real Star'. He is a real hero."
Actress Nidhhi Agerwal said, "We are certain about delivering a blockbuster. This project is the result of Ratnam garu's perseverance. It's not easy to hold on to a project of this scale for so many years."
Producer A Dayakar Rao said, "This is just a trailer. When the movie releases on July 24th, a true festival will start. Kalyan garu's fights, his look, the visuals... Everything is at its best. Kalyan garu has been talking about Sanatana Dharma. HHVM mirrors his commitment to Dharma. HHVM will remind us of our history."
Hari Hara Veera Mallu releases on July 24th in theatres.
