Pawan Kalyan’s political journey after the 2024 Andhra Pradesh elections has taken his popularity to new heights—especially in northern India. As the newly appointed Deputy Chief Minister and a vocal supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he has struck a chord with many in the Hindi-speaking belt.
His recent endorsements of Hindu traditions have further boosted his appeal among Hindi nationalists, who now see him as a rising symbol of Sanatan Dharma.

This newfound political influence is also credited with helping the BJP secure big victories, particularly in Maharashtra assembly elections, where Pawan’s campaign support reportedly contributed to a sweeping win.
Meanwhile, his much-delayed film Hari Hara Veera Mallu is finally heading toward release, sparking renewed interest across film circles. Despite a troubled production journey—initially directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and later taken over by Jyothi Krishna—the project is back on track.

Jyothi Krishna recently confirmed plans for a grand trailer launch in North India and presence of UP CM Yogi Adityanath is expected, though the exact venue is still under discussion. After Pushpa 2 in Bihar and Gamechanger in Lucknow, this will be another pan-India event.
Produced by A.M. Ratnam, Hari Hara Veera Mallu is scheduled for a June 12 release in five languages. However, its real impact in the pan-India market remains uncertain.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu poses a critical challenge. The film, which has changed hands between directors and relies heavily on VFX, faces doubtfulness from today’s audience—who have little patience for subpar visual effects.
It’s not your typical mass-market entertainer packed with formulaic songs and fight scenes. Instead, it hinges on strong storytelling and high-quality execution.
Pawan’s return to cinema after a break—and now with enhanced political stature—adds curiosity and t’s biggest USP. But that alone doesn’t ensure a hit.
So far, the songs from HHVM haven’t made a significant impact, raising the stakes for the trailer and marketing campaign to deliver.
The film’s release is just around the corner, and both fans and industry insiders are watching closely. Can Hari Hara Veera Mallu reaffirm Pawan Kalyan’s standing in cinema while his political presence continues to grow?
And more importantly—will his rising image as a Sanatan Dharma icon in North India translate into box office numbers in Hindi, or is that admiration limited to social media buzz?
