Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Pawan Kalyan Plays Orphan Raised by Dharma, Confirms Producer

Pawan Kalyan’s Pan-India Debut Gears Up for Grand Release on July 24, 2025

As the release date for Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1—Sword vs. Spirit draws near, new insights into Pawan Kalyan’s character have been officially revealed by the film’s presenter, AM Rathnam. The high-stakes mytho-historical action drama marks Pawan Kalyan’s first true pan-Indian venture, and expectations are running sky-high ahead of its July 24 release.

Pawan Kalyan Plays a Fictional Orphan Raised in a Temple

In a recent interview, AM Rathnam clarified that Pawan Kalyan’s character is entirely fictional and not based on any historical figure. He revealed that the name “Hari Hara” was chosen to reflect a divine duality—blending Vishnu (Hari) and Shiva (Hara)—symbolizing the spiritual depth of the character.

The story begins with Hari Hara being found abandoned during a flood and raised in a temple. As an orphan molded by Dharma, he grows into a fierce warrior who takes on Aurangzeb, defending Sanatan Dharma in an epic clash of ideologies.

Original Storyline and Pan-Indian Appeal

Dismissing earlier rumors that the story is based on real historical figures, AM Rathnam emphasized the film’s originality. Directed by Jyothi Krisna and produced by A. Dayakar Rao under the Mega Surya Productions banner, the film boasts a strong supporting cast, including Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nassar, Vennela Kishore, and Sunil.

The soundtrack and score are composed by Oscar-winner M.M. Keeravaani, adding further grandeur to this ambitious project.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu will release in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, on July 24, 2025.

Sagar Opens Up About His Disappointment in Prabhas’ Mr. Perfect: “I Was Misled”

Rebel Star Prabhas is riding high with a slate of pan-India projects lined up, including Raja Saab, Salaar 2, Kalki 2, Hanu Raghavapudi’s untitled film, and Spirit with Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Among these, Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, has generated immense buzz for its horror-comedy theme, impressive visuals, and Prabhas’ stylish look.

However, in the middle of all this excitement, an unexpected controversy from Prabhas’ past has resurfaced. Actor Sagar, widely known for his successful TV career, especially for his role in the hit serial Mogalirekulu, has made a shocking revelation about his experience working in Prabhas’ 2011 hit film Mr. Perfect.

During a promotional interview for his upcoming film The 100, Sagar claimed he was misled into believing he would play the second hero in Mr. Perfect. “I was promised a key role,” he said, “but once I reached the set, things were different. I had committed 15 days, but for the first few days, I didn’t even have a single scene.”

Sagar revealed that when he confronted the team, he was brushed off with vague replies. “They told me ‘your scenes will be shot tomorrow.’ But even during the actual shoot days, I noticed many scenes were either cut or never planned. I finally asked the director, and he casually said, ‘Sometimes characters change, try to understand.’”

Disheartened, Sagar decided to back out. “It wasn’t about the money. I just wanted my big screen debut to be meaningful. I thought it was better not to proceed,” he said. “However, they still used the little footage they shot of me. That really affected me.”

Mr. Perfect, directed by Dasharath and starring Prabhas, Kajal Aggarwal, and Taapsee, was a blockbuster. But Sagar’s recent comments have sparked a fresh discussion about transparency and treatment of emerging actors in the film industry.

As Sagar gears up for his full-fledged hero debut with The 100, his candid statement has added an unexpected twist to Prabhas’ filmography history.

Rishab Shetty’s ₹100 Crore Demand for Kantara Prequel Stuns Industry

After the phenomenal success of Kantara in 2022, which grossed over ₹400 crore worldwide, Rishab Shetty has become one of the most sought-after talents in Indian cinema. Now, with the upcoming prequel Kantara Chapter 1 in development, Shetty is back in the spotlight—not for his direction or acting, but for his paycheck.

Industry sources reveal that Rishab Shetty has reportedly demanded a staggering ₹100 crore as his fee for acting and directing the film, in addition to ₹50 crore through profit-sharing. This is a massive jump from the ₹4 crore he was paid for the original film.

Hombale Films, the banner behind Kantara, is producing the prequel, which is expected to be grander in every sense. The storyline will dive deeper into the folklore hinted at in the first film, with large-scale mythological sequences and an epic war backdrop. The project is slated for a theatrical release in October 2025.

Shetty’s bold fee demand has sent shockwaves through the industry, with many seeing it as a sign of changing dynamics for actor-directors in Indian cinema. If the producers agree, it could set a new benchmark for creative talents commanding both on-screen and behind-the-camera responsibilities.

Regardless of the outcome, one thing is clear—Kantara Chapter 1 has already made headlines long before its release. With sky-high expectations and a buzzworthy budget, all eyes are on how this cinematic mythos unfolds.

Yash Shocks Fans With 15-Minute Ramayana Role

After the thunderous success of KGF, fans expected Yash to dominate the screen in his next big venture, Ramayana, where he plays the iconic role of Ravana. But the latest buzz has left many stunned: Yash will reportedly appear for just 15 minutes in Ramayana: Part 1.

According to reports, Part 1 will primarily focus on Lord Rama’s early life and journey, with Ravana being introduced only toward the end. This limited screen time is said to be a strategic move to build anticipation for Part 2, where Ravana’s role—and Yash’s performance—will take center stage.

 Mixed Reactions Online

This unexpected update has led to mixed reactions from fans on social media. While some are disappointed that their favorite star will have such a small presence, others are optimistic that it’s a well-planned buildup to a grand reveal in the second part.

So far, there’s been no official confirmation from the film’s team regarding Yash’s exact screen time.

 A Star-Studded Mythological Epic

Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana is being produced on an epic scale. The cast includes

• Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama

• Sai Pallavi as Sita

• Sunny Deol as Hanuman

• Ravi Dubey as Lakshmana

With music by Hans Zimmer and AR Rahman and plans to release the film in two parts—Diwali 2026 and Diwali 2027—the stage is set for one of Indian cinema’s most ambitious mythological adaptations.

 What’s Next for Yash?

While his Ravana role may be brief in Ramayana: Part 1, Yash has another massive project lined up:
Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, directed by Geetu Mohandas. Set in a gritty gangster world, the film stars Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Qureshi. It’s scheduled to hit theaters on March 19, 2026.

Between Ramayana and Toxic, Yash’s lineup remains powerful, even if his first appearance as Ravana is just a taste of what’s to come.

Badass First Look: Siddhu Jonnalagadda Goes Dark and Gritty

Sithara Entertainments has just dropped the first-look poster of their upcoming film Badass, and it’s already making waves online. With the tagline “If Middle Finger Was a Man,” the poster sends a clear signal—this film isn’t holding anything back.

Starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Badass reunites him with director Ravikanth Perepu, the duo behind the cult hit Krishna and His Leela. However, unlike their previous outing, this time they’re stepping into a much darker, emotionally intense narrative.

 A Radical Shift in Tone

Known for his playful, boy-next-door roles, Siddhu is taking a major leap with Badass. The film aims to showcase his range and depth as a performer, diving into gritty emotional territory rather than his usual romantic or comedic flair.

What adds more intrigue is that both Siddhu and Ravikanth have co-written the script, hinting at a story deeply rooted in personal vision and creative synergy.

 Big Budget, Bigger Ambitions

Backed by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, Badass is being produced under the banners of Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios. With a larger budget, a fresh creative direction, and a confident launch, the film is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Telugu releases of 2026.

The fierce and fearless first look has raised expectations, and fans are now eager to see how Siddhu transforms into a full-blown ‘badass’ on screen.
