Speaking at the Hari Hara Veera Mallu success event on Friday, Pawan Kalyan stated that emotions are essential for any film, emphasizing that what truly resonates with the audience is how they feel after watching it. He explained that this particular story revolves around the Mughals. He then pointed out that textbooks mostly glorified Aurangzeb and never spoke about his cruelty. Pawan Kalyan highlighted the disparity, noting that while the Mughals ruled for 200 years, dynasties like the Chalukyas, Pallavas, Kakatiyas, and Vijayanagara empire ruled for centuries, yet our rulers are barely acknowledged in history.
Regarding the film's action sequences, he revealed that the martial arts he learned, his understanding of technology, and his activism all came together and helped him design the 18-minute pre-climax fight. He expressed his happiness that everyone is appreciating that episode.
The actor-politician clarified that HHVM isn’t about religion; it’s about the battle between good and evil. He extended his thanks to Mythri Movie Makers and People Media Factory for supporting producer AM Ratnam in getting this film to release.
Power Star humbly attributed his current standing to the strength given to him by his fans. He expressed that more than collections or records, he feels proud that this film told a historical truth. He drew a parallel to his own experience, stating that after watching Shankarabharanam, he developed immense respect for classical music, and believes this film, too, shows what cinema can achieve.
The team behind Hari Hara Veera Mallu is ecstatic with the film's overwhelming success, attributing it largely to Pawan Kalyan's performance and the collective hard work of the cast and crew. Actress Nidhhi Agerwal expressed immense happiness over the congratulatory messages, highlighting Kalyan's pivotal role and the five years of dedication from the entire team. Ratnam proudly stated that the film, which depicts a warrior's fight against Aurangzeb to protect Dharma, is not just a movie but "history," praising Kalyan's lionhearted portrayal that fans eagerly awaited.
Director Jyothi Krishna echoed the sentiment of pride, noting the emotional audience response, the impactful ending, and the film's appeal to families, while also crediting M.M. Keeravani's music for elevating the extensive action sequences. He also acknowledged Nidhhi Agerwal's five-year commitment and the profound joy this dream project brought to his father.
Producers Y. Ravi Shankar and Naveen Yerneni highlighted the film's phenomenal box office performance, with Ravi Shankar citing a staggering Rs 3.36 crore share from a single premiere show, indicating record-breaking collections. They both expressed confidence in the film's continued success, emphasizing the unique excitement Pawan Kalyan brings to the screen and the widespread positive reception.
