Hari Hara Veera Mallu released in cinemas today amid high expectations, especially following the positive reception of its preview shows. Directed by Jyothi Krisna, this historical action drama stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead, with Nidhhi Agerwal playing the female lead.
On the day of release, Pawan Kalyan shared that the film sheds light on the historical injustices faced by Hindus during the Mughal era, particularly under Aurangzeb’s rule. He emphasised that the story aims to highlight the suppression of Sanatana Dharma, the imposition of the Jizya tax, and the plundering of India’s wealth, while celebrating the courage of forgotten heroes who resisted tyranny.
The film opened to strong day-one bookings, with premiere collections estimated at around ₹13 crore gross. The ensemble cast includes Bobby Deol, Nassar, Sathyaraj, Sunil, Vennela Kishore, and others. Produced under the Mega Surya Production banner, the film features music composed by MM Keeravaani.
