Power Star Pawan Kalyan's, "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" enjoyed a strong start, but recent developments have left fans worried about its future. Director Krish Jagarlamudi has stepped away from the project due to delays and other reasons, and his departure has cast doubt on the film's progress.

The directorial responsibilities have now been taken over by Jyothi Krishna, son of producer A.M. Ratnam. Despite the challenges, Ratnam assures fans that the film will be released this year, although circumstances seem to be working against it.

In a recent interview, A.M. Ratnam discussed the changes and expressed confidence in Jyothi Krishna's ability to complete the film smoothly. He emphasized that both he and Pawan Kalyan have significant experience in filmmaking, which will help navigate the project to completion. Ratnam believes that with their collective expertise, the movie will overcome its hurdles.

However, fans remain skeptical. Jyothi Krishna's previous directorial ventures, "Rules Ranjann" and "Oxygen," were not well-received. Similarly, A.M. Ratnam's directorial efforts in the past were limited to "Peddarikam" and "Sankalpam," while Pawan Kalyan's directorial attempt with "Jhonny" was a major disappointment.

In addition to the directorial changes, "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" faces competition from another Pawan Kalyan film, "OG," which is generating significant buzz. Releasing both films in the same year seems improbable. Moreover, if Pawan Kalyan wins in the upcoming elections, his political commitments could further delay the film, especially with other projects like "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" also vying for his time.

The challenges ahead for "Hari Hara Veera Mallu" are significant, and it remains to be seen how A.M. Ratnam will navigate these obstacles to bring the film to theaters.

Despite the concerns, Ratnam remains optimistic. He assured fans that the film is being handled with great care, and emphasized that even Hollywood films often see multiple directors. He confidently stated, “The movie is going to be a blockbuster.” He also revealed that Pawan Kalyan will present a never-before-seen look in the film, with Niddhi Agerwal as the female lead and music composed by M.M. Keeravani. The team aims to release the movie in 2024, hoping to meet the high expectations set by fans.
