Hari Hara Veera Mallu, the much-anticipated historical action film starring Pawan Kalyan, has once again been postponed. Originally slated for release in mid-2023, the project has encountered multiple delays over the years. The latest postponement has been attributed to pending VFX work and financial issues plaguing the production.

Reasons Behind the Delay
According to reliable industry sources, the following are the key reasons for the continued delay:
- Unfinished VFX Work: The film features several large-scale war sequences and digitally created sets. The VFX output reportedly failed to meet the required cinematic standards in initial previews, prompting the team to extend post-production timelines.
- Financial Troubles: Insiders close to the production have indicated that the producer, AM Rathnam, is facing budgetary challenges in allocating funds for the film’s completion. These financial constraints have slowed progress on finalizing CGI, sound design, and international distribution deals.
Production Timeline So Far
- Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the film went on floors in 2020.
- Multiple schedule interruptions occurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pawan Kalyan’s political commitments, and post-production hurdles.
- The movie has already wrapped up most of its shooting, but final VFX integration remains pending.
What the Makers Say
Though the production house Mega Surya Production has not issued a new release date officially, insiders suggest the film may now aim for a 2025 theatrical release, depending on VFX progress and financial resolution.
Moving Ahead
Hari Hara Veera Mallu remains one of the most ambitious Telugu projects, set in the Mughal era with a fictionalized portrayal of Veera Mallu, a heroic outlaw. Fans of Pawan Kalyan are eagerly awaiting an update from the makers. As of now, the wait continues — with hope that quality and scale won’t be compromised despite the delays.
