Until recently, May 30 seemed poised to be a major date for Telugu cinema, with films like Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom and Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu targeting the release. However, things have taken a turn, not just due to unfinished work, but also because of the tense atmosphere and uncertain conditions across the country, forcing producers to reconsider their plans.
Although posters still list May 30 as the release date, insiders suggest that this could change at any moment. Kingdom is still in post-production, with composer Anirudh yet to finish the re-recording, which alone could cause a delay. However, the bigger issue is the rising tension in the country, particularly in North India. With the threat of conflict and public gatherings being avoided, theater turnouts have been affected, especially in the Hindi belt.
Similarly, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, initially planned as a massive pan-India release, is also stepping away from May 30. Producer AM Ratnam wants the film to reflect Pawan Kalyan’s image, particularly in Bollywood. But with limited time for dubbing, promotions, and an unstable environment, the team is now eyeing a June release.
With these high-profile films off the slate, Bhairava, starring Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, Manchu Manoj, and Nara Rohit, will now occupy the May 30 slot. As a remake with a modest budget, the makers are less concerned about the risk. If the film garners positive word-of-mouth, it could benefit from the lack of competition and attract audiences looking for a mass entertainer.
In the bigger picture, postponing the release of Kingdom and Hari Hara Veera Mallu may turn out to be a wise decision for stars like Pawan Kalyan and Vijay Deverakonda. If the unrest subsides by June, it could be a safer and more profitable time to launch these big films. While May 30 would’ve been an ideal date under normal circumstances, this year, waiting seems like a smarter move.
