Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veeru Mallu to break 4-week OTT release rule?

As per 123 Telugu, the makers are now pondering an earlier digital release, which will likely be August 15, 2025, coinciding with Independence Day. Previously, the same publication reported that the film would premiere on Amazon Prime Video on August 22, 2025, which falls on Chiranjeevi’s birthday.

If the latest reports turn out to be true, Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu will be breaking this rule.

What went wrong in Hari Hara Veeru Mallu?

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is a period drama where Pawan Kalyan takes on a Robin Hood-like role. However, fans say the film has failed to connect with them.

Since the film is set to release in two parts, several have suggested that the sequel plans should be shelved immediately.

The cast includes Pawan Kalyan as Veera Mallu, Nidhhi Agerwal as Panchami, and Bobby Deol as Aurangzeb.
