Hari Hara Veera Mallu, the much-anticipated historical action drama starring Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and actor Pawan Kalyan, is facing controversy just weeks ahead of its slated release on July 24. Directed by Krish and Jyothi Krishna, and featuring Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead, the film has come under fire from members of the Mudiraj community for allegedly misrepresenting a revered historical figure.
Community leaders allege that the central character in the film appears to be heavily inspired by Panduga Sayanna, a celebrated Telangana folk hero known as the “Robin Hood of Telangana” for his legendary acts of redistributing wealth from feudal landlords to the underprivileged. According to them, the film presents a fictionalized and distorted version of Sayanna’s life, diminishing the legacy and pride associated with him, particularly among Bahujan and backward communities.
In a press conference held at the Hyderabad Press Club, Mudiraj representatives criticized the filmmakers, Mega Surya Productions, accusing them of inserting commercially driven and historically inaccurate elements. They voiced concerns that such portrayals not only disrespect Sayanna’s contribution but also dilute the cultural identity of marginalized groups. The leaders also called upon other Bahujan communities to support their demand for accountability and warned of potential protests, including efforts to block the film’s release if their grievances are not addressed.
For Pawan Kalyan, Hari Hara Veera Mallu marks a high-profile return to cinema, aiming to reestablish his presence on the silver screen and reconnect with Telugu audiences. However, with rising tensions surrounding the film’s content, its road to release may face unforeseen hurdles unless the controversy is amicably resolved.
