“Hari Hara Veera Mallu Will Speak for Me” – A.M. Rathnam’
A.M. Rathnam Opens Up About Hari Hara Veera Mallu: “This Is the Kind of Film People Will Remember Me For”
As the release of Hari Hara Veera Mallu draws near, veteran producer A.M. Rathnam shared his journey and creative vision behind the magnum opus in a candid interaction with the media. The highly anticipated film, starring Power Star Pawan Kalyan, is slated for a grand theatrical release on July 24, 2025, and the excitement is palpable across the Telugu states.
Paid Premieres Planned for Fans
Rathnam garu revealed that the team is actively working on organizing paid premiere shows ahead of the film’s release to give fans a special early glimpse.
“We’re planning to organize paid premieres for Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Once we receive the necessary permissions, we aim to schedule 9:00 PM shows on July 23rd,” he said.
This move is expected to generate massive buzz, especially among Pawan Kalyan’s ardent fan base.
Addressing Delays and Misconceptions
Clarifying rumors about the prolonged production timeline, Rathnam explained that the scale and historical setting of the film demanded more attention and time, not necessarily more shooting days.
“Hari Hara Veera Mallu didn’t take too many shoot days. The delay was due to the effort needed to bring the 17th-century backdrop to life — not because of excessive filming,” he clarified.

A Work of Historical Fiction, Not a Biopic
Amid speculation about the storyline’s historical accuracy, the seasoned producer emphasized that the film is a fictional creation, inspired by the grandeur of a forgotten era.
“This is not based on any real-life historical figure. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is a creative work of historical fiction, entirely imagined but rooted in the cultural essence of the 17th century.”
Rathnam’s Confidence in the Film’s Impact
Speaking passionately about the final product, Rathnam expressed his heartfelt belief in the film’s ability to leave a lasting impression.
“After watching this movie, I’m confident everyone will say —
‘Rathnam, you’ve made a fine film — well done!’
That’s the kind of emotional and cinematic impact we’re aiming for.”
Backed by a Visionary Team
Directed by Jyothi Krishna, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is presented by A.M. Rathnam and produced by A. Dayakar Rao under the banner of Mega Surya Productions. The film features a powerful soundtrack by Oscar-winner M.M. Keeravani and stars Pawan Kalyan in the titular role, with Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead.
Combining grandeur, emotion, action, and cultural richness, the film is poised to become a landmark entry in Telugu cinema. With A.M. Rathnam’s conviction and the entire team’s dedication, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is more than a film — it’s a cinematic event.
The countdown to July 24th has begun, and all eyes are now on the silver screen.
