After years of delays and multiple hurdles, Pawan Kalyan’s much-anticipated film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs. Spirit, is finally set for a smooth and hassle-free release. The latest update confirms that the film’s business deals across all regions have now been closed.
This high-budget period action drama has been in production for over five years, facing several obstacles during its shoot. The film’s theatrical business was particularly challenging, as the makers quoted steep prices due to the inflated budget. However, distributors found the quotes beyond their expectations, causing delays in closing deals.
The situation was further complicated by repeated postponements and financial setbacks, leading to uncertainty in trade circles. Despite these challenges, the makers have now finalized distributors in all regions, albeit at prices lower than originally quoted.
This means the producer will now rely heavily on strong box office overflows to recover the investment and reach breakeven. However, the silver lining lies in the fact that this film is only the first installment of a two-part series. If Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 performs well and garners audience appreciation, the producer is likely to reap significant profits from Part 2, making up for any shortfall faced with the first part.
Meanwhile, all content will be dispatched to theatres worldwide by tonight, and full-scale advance bookings are expected to go live either tonight or by early tomorrow. With the stage finally set, all eyes are now on the film’s release and its box office performance.
