With Powerstar Pawan Kalyan‘s entry into AP politics, his focus on cinema has significantly diminished. As a result, his movies ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu‘, ‘OG‘, and ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh‘ have been pending for some time. However, there has been recent movement in these projects, except for ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’. The other two have resumed shooting, and the release date for ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ has also been announced by the makers. It was believed that among Pawan’s three projects, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ would release first. But now, the situation seems to have changed according to the buzz online.
Will OG Release First?
‘OG’, directed by young director Sujeeth, is in Pawan Kalyan’s pipeline. The latest buzz suggests that ‘OG’ might be released before ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’. Young and dynamic director Sujeeth is reportedly planning to release the movie quickly. Given the higher buzz around ‘OG’, the film team is considering releasing it first. They are planning to quickly complete Pawan’s shooting part and start post-production work. Discussions with Pawan are underway to announce the release date soon, which has got Pawan’s fans very excited.
Hari Hara Must Step Back!
‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’, starring Pawan, is an upcoming period action drama. This film was the first among his three projects to start. Director Krish launched the movie back in 2020. Despite several breaks, Krish has completed 60% of the shooting. However, Krish stepped away from the project during the election period as Pawan was fully engaged in politics. Producer Ratnam’s son, director Jyothi Krishna, has taken over the responsibilities to complete the remaining shooting. With Pawan’s consent post-elections, they have also announced that the film will hit theaters on March 28, 2025. Now, with ‘OG’ potentially releasing first, ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ might face new challenges. If Pawan supports the early release of ‘OG’, analysts believe that the team behind ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ will have no choice but to delay their release. It remains to be seen what will happen.
Why All the Hype Around OG?
Of all Pawan Kalyan’s current projects, ‘OG’ is considered very special. For the first time in his career, Pawan is playing a gangster role. Fans have already decided that this movie will be something extraordinary after seeing Pawan’s acting in the glimpses of ‘OG’. The film also stars Priyanka Mohan, with Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi playing the antagonist. Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, Prakash Raj, Harish Uthaman, and Abhimanyu Singh hold key roles. The makers plan to release the movie in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. Director Sujeeth previously mentioned a connection with Japanese elements in the film, raising fan expectations to a whole new level.
What About ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’?
After the blockbuster ‘Gabbar Singh’, Pawan Kalyan and director Harish Shankar are reuniting for ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’. Until the AP elections, there were frequent updates raising expectations high, but Harish Shankar has been quiet for a while. However, with ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ and ‘OG’ going back on sets, fans are hopeful that ‘Ustaad’ will soon resume. In this film, Power Star Pawan Kalyan is playing a beloved police role, which has greatly excited the fans. With two glimpses already released and well-received, the industry insiders suggest that an update on this movie will also be coming soon.
