According to a new report, actor Pawan Kalyan is set to return his fee of ₹11 crores ($1.2 million) advance to the producer of Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The movie was originally scheduled to release in June 2025, but the release date has been postponed indefinitely.
The movie began production in 2020 but faced multiple delays due to the pandemic and Pawan Kalyan's political commitments. According to 123Telugu, Pawan Kalyan voluntarily returned his advance to help producer A. M. Rathnam with his financial issues.
Initially, director Krish Jagarlamudi helmed the movie, but he left due to the delays affecting his other projects. He was replaced by A. M. Jyothi Krishna. The movie is currently in post-production. The delayed release is speculated to be caused by the producer's financial issues.
