Krish Breaks Silence on Hari Hara Veera Mallu, Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Pawan Kalyan and A.M. Ratnam
With just a day to go before Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit hits theatres worldwide, filmmaker Krish Jagarlamudi has finally opened up about the film he once helmed. Taking to Instagram, Krish reflected on the passion, struggle, and inspiration behind the much-anticipated period action drama, which stars Pawan Kalyan and Nidhhi Agerwal in lead roles.
Calling the film “one of my most passionate battles” and “a culmination of years of fire and faith,” Krish described his deep emotional connection to the project.
Heaped in praise for Pawan Kalyan, Krish wrote:
“He’s an extraordinary force blessed by something far greater. There’s a fire in him that no camera can fully capture. He gave the film its spine, its soul, and its storm.”
He also acknowledged producer A.M. Ratnam for his unwavering vision and resilience:
“His ability to dream big, to hold the chaos together, and to build with faith is rare. He has been the backbone of this vision.”
Krish emphasized that for him, Hari Hara Veera Mallu was not just another film, but a journey into “forgotten history, uncomfortable truths, and cinema that entertains and enlightens.”
Interestingly, Krish did not refer to Jyothi Krisna, who completed the film after Krish exited the project. The omission has raised eyebrows and sparked online speculation as the director’s post quickly went viral.
Also starring Bobby Deol, Sathyaraj, Nassar, Sunil, and Vennela Kishore, the film is produced by A. Dayakar Rao under Mega Surya Production, with music by MM Keeravaani. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is set for a global theatrical release on July 24, 2025, in multiple languages.
