Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu has taken a record opening in his career and has impressed his hardcore fans. Directed by Jyothi Krishna, the period drama was in the making for two long years. The film was made as a two-part release, and the first part had its share of issues, as director Krish walked out of the project. Later, Jyothi Krishna wrapped up the film.
Pawan Kalyan makes a special request to Krish?
However, all those who watched the film have been disappointed with the second half, which fell flat and failed to meet expectations. Many fans have started blaming the young director, who couldn't match the storytelling standards set by Krish. In a recent press interaction, Pawan Kalyan revealed that he is aware of the criticism and will take it into account while planning the second part.
Now, news from film circles suggests that Pawan Kalyan has requested Krish to return and direct the second part. Though an official confirmation is still awaited, this news has gone viral. Krish is a talented filmmaker, but due to the repeated delays of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, he had no choice but to walk away from the project.
Fans upset with second half of Hari Hara Veera Mallu
The general feedback from audiences has not been very positive, and fans are desperately hoping Krish returns to salvage the second part. Producer A.M. Rathnam, in several interviews, clearly stated that he is not keen on making the second part unless the first part is a hit. As of now, HHVM has taken a strong start at the box office, and only time will tell whether the sequel will go on floors.
Bobby Deol played the role of Aurangzeb in the film, but fans were a bit disappointed, as his character was not well-developed in the narrative. Despite the mixed response, the film continues to stay in the news, keeping fans curious and hopeful. Amazon Prime Video has acquired the digital rights, and the film will begin streaming in the last week of August 2025. Stay tuned for more updates.
