In what comes as an unexpected move, it is said that Pawan Kalyan has decided to return an advance payment of Rs 11 crore to the producer of his much-delayed film, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’.
This move comes as the film, which has been in production for several years and faced multiple postponements, is reportedly encountering significant financial hurdles and pending VFX work.
The producer, A.M. Rathnam, is said to be facing considerable financial strain due to the escalating budget and repeated delays.
Pawan Kalyan’s decision to refund a portion of his remuneration is being hailed as a generous gesture aimed at easing the financial burden on the producer and ensuring the smooth release of the film.
While the exact details of the financial arrangements are not officially confirmed, industry buzz suggests that Pawan Kalyan has consistently supported the project despite the numerous setbacks.
Directed by Jyothi Krisha,the film was initially scheduled for a June 12, 2025 release, but reports now suggest another postponement, possibly to late June or July.
