కౌశిక్ రెడ్డికి కాంగ్రెస్ మహిళా నేతల కౌంటర్ – Full & Final

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan has recently resumed shooting for Hari Hara Veera Mallu, a grand period drama where he plays the role of a daring thief. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and AM Jyothi Krishna, the film is slated for a massive release next month. As the release nears, buzz surrounding the film’s aesthetics—particularly Pawan Kalyan’s costumes—has been gaining momentum.

Set in the 17th-century Mughal era, the film’s wardrobe design is being handled by renowned costume designer Aishwarya Rajeev. Having previously worked on Gautamiputra Satakarni with Nandamuri Balakrishna, she brings valuable experience to the table for a historical setting like this. For Hari Hara Veera Mallu, her team collaborated with skilled weavers from Telangana, Surat, and Mumbai to craft unique fabrics using natural dyes and earthy tones like rustic maroon and brown.

An enormous amount of work went into the costume design process. Each outfit was custom-made and presented to Pawan Kalyan for his feedback and approval during detailed trial sessions. When he appeared on set in his full warrior attire for the first time, the crew was reportedly stunned by his commanding presence.

The costume department used over 1,000 thans (bolts of cotton fabric) throughout the project. Pawan Kalyan will sport around 20 different looks in the film, primarily wearing traditional Kurta and Dhoti ensembles. His accessories, too, have been designed with intricate detail, enhancing the authenticity of his character.

Adding to the film’s opulence, over 20 custom-made pairs of leather chappals were handcrafted by artisan Venkateswara Rao. The production also involved 500 kilos of jewelry, worth an estimated ₹3 crore—some of it real gold and silver—further reflecting the grandeur of the Mughal-era backdrop.

With so much attention to detail, Hari Hara Veera Mallu promises to be not only a compelling story but also a visual spectacle.
