When Pawan Kalyan took a brief break from his administrative duties to participate in the promotions of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, critics raised concerns about the constitutionality of his actions. Former IAS officer Vijay Kumar filed a petition alleging that Pawan misused government funds and machinery to promote his film. The petition also claimed that, as a serving Deputy Chief Minister, Pawan’s involvement in movies was unconstitutional.
However, the Andhra Pradesh High Court has clarified that there is no legal restriction on Chief Ministers or ministers acting in films. The court also noted that, at this stage, no directions could be issued to file a counter in the case against Pawan Kalyan.
During the hearing, AG Dammalapati Srinivas, representing the state, cited a precedent from a full bench ruling involving former Chief Minister N. T. Rama Rao, reinforcing that ministers can legally act in films.
Meanwhile, advocate Bala, representing the petitioner, alleged that Pawan Kalyan may have abused his position to influence ticket pricing and requested the court to summon all relevant records regarding the matter.
The case continues, but the High Court’s ruling has for now cleared the path for Pawan Kalyan’s participation in movies without legal hindrance.
