After Advocating for Sanatana Dharma, Is Pawan Returning to the Spotlight?

After championing Sanatana Dharma and addressing the Tirumala Laddu controversy in recent weeks, superstar Pawan Kalyan is set to return to the spotlight. According to sources, he will begin shooting for "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" starting Monday. After a seven to eight-month hiatus for political commitments, Pawan is eager to showcase his acting talents in this period action-adventure film.

Following his tenure as Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan is ready to embrace his role as an actor once again. He has a dedicated fanbase from his numerous hits, including "Bhadri," "Kushi," "Jalsa," and "Atharintiki Dharedi." Known as the uncrowned king of Tollywood, he is expected to slip back into his characters effortlessly.

Pawan is also known for his focus on meditation, allowing him to concentrate on one project at a time, and this time, acting will take precedence with several films in production. "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" has been in development for four years, marking Pawan's comeback after delays caused by producer A M Rathnam and rising costs, now exceeding ₹200 crore, with much shooting still pending.

The film represents a significant investment, and Pawan's commitment to wrapping it up reflects his dedication to his craft. He has previously collaborated with A M Rathnam on hits like "Kushi" and "Bangaram," and this partnership aims for a hat trick of success.

While Pawan has other projects like "OG" and "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" underway, he chose to start with "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" due to its larger-than-life narrative. The first installment is titled "Hari Hara Veera Mallu Part-1: Sword vs Spirit," featuring the tagline "Dharmam kosam Yuddham," which translates to "War for Justice." In the teaser, Pawan Kalyan's character, a lone warrior, is depicted as waging a battle for justice.
