Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Pawan Kalyan has decided not to promote his film, here's why
Will Pawan Kalyan be promoting his film Hari Hara Veera Mallu?
Recently, during a press meeting, the producer of HHVM made a surprising comment as he discussed whether Pawan Kalyan would be present during the promotions of the film.
For the unversed, the actor is also the current Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh, and thus, it had raised buzz on his availability to attend any pre-release event of his movie.
Shedding light on the matter, AM Rathnam said, 'Please watch the film to enjoy, not just to find mistakes. This film is made for the audience. Pawan Kalyan is busy with other commitments and won't promote the film in Hindi and other languages.'
Hari Hara Veera Mallu's run time and CBFC certification
Well, the Krish Jagarlamudi directorial went under the scanner of CBFC recently and was awarded a UA certification.
On the other hand, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has a total runtime of 2 hours and 42 minutes. No specific cuts or changes have reportedly been mentioned to the makers for the further runtime of the film.
HHVM's post-theatrical streaming rights
Another important buzz about Hari Hara Veera Mallu, even before its theatrical release, has been surrounding its OTT release. The makers had previously announced officially tying up with Amazon Prime Video regarding the same.
As per some previous reports, the makers had initially been facing pressure from the streaming giant, especially for the multiple delays it had endured in terms of release.
It was believed that Prime Video had pressured HHVM makers to finalize the release date and set a condition for the same, allowing stricter measures if the film was not to be released within a stipulated time till the end of July.
The OTT platform had further warned of the delay directly affecting the deal between them, where a reduction from the signed amount can also be expected.

Amid this, an old video of her clapping back at a man who publicly criticised her outfit has resurfaced. The video has gained support from many on the internet, including Priyanka Chopra. In the video, Uorfi, in a green backless dress, is seen getting into a heated argument with a man while leaving the Mumbai airport.

Dexter: Resurrection star Michael C Hall: ‘I was pinching myself to see Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, Neil Patrick Harris in the same room'
Michael C Hall first played Dexter in the eponymous show 19 years ago when the first episode dropped on Showtime. He essayed the forensic technician, moonlighting as a vigilante serial killer, for seven years before taking a backseat. He reprised the role eight years later in Dexter: New Blood, set 10 years after the season 8 finale. He's a father to Harrison Morgan now, who goes in his father's footsteps and shoots his own dad in the New Blood finale. Now, as Hall returns to find his absconding son in Dexter: Resurrection (streaming in India on Amazon Prime Video), he talks to SCREEN exclusively about the father-son dynamic, shifting action to New York City, and rounding up a deadly roaster of assassins in the new installment. Between Dexter: New Blood and Dexter: Resurrection, you played the 'inner voice' of the character in the prequel series, Dexter: Original Sin. How did that help you going into Resurrection? The show has often alluded to Dexter's origin story and those early years. I've also thought about them imaginatively as an actor. But to have the chance to spend time with those scripts and the show, and to do the voiceover, that just gave fully-fleshed out colour to what had probably been a notion, an outline, or a line drawing. So, it was really helpful to spend time thinking about the character's origin story in detail, which I hadn't before. It was really good preparation for the return. For the audience, it enriches their time spent with the character in the present tense. The setting in Resurrection is New York City, which isn't as snowy as Iron Lake in New Blood or as summery as Miami in the previous seasons. How does that lend a new texture to the show? It's a new place to hide in plain sight. Miami is also a big city, but it couldn't be more different in terms of its climate and architecture. Miami is round, hot, and sweaty. New York is cold, steely, angular, and concrete. I think of that environment as symbolic of Dexter's rigid commitment to who he is and who he isn't. Being in the physical environment of New York helped fortify that. It's also a place where many, many people congregate. So there's an increasing likelihood that Dexter will encounter formidable and worthy victims, and he does in ways unanticipated. As he says it at some point, 'Only in New York!' So yeah, it gave a freshness and new flavour to the story we were telling in a way that only a city like New York could. And maybe there's only one city like New York, and that's New York. Speaking of New York City, you seem to have found your own Hotel Intercontinental from John Wick! There's Peter Dinklage assembling a host of assassins, including Uma Thurman, the OG assassin from Kill Bill (2003) days. How was that like? It was amazing! It was an assembly of unsavoury superheroes. It felt like Dexter got transported to a twisted superhero movie. But it was incredible. I was pinching myself to see Uma Thurman in the room, and Peter, Neil Patrick Harris, David Dastmalchian, Krystan Ritter, Eric Stonestreet — just an ensemble of fantastic, and very different, actors. All of them were relishing the chance to exist in this heightened, crazy world. It was very gratifying for us that we were able to attract people of this calibre to join us. It was a blast, one of the richest ensembles I've ever been a part of. Also Read — The Old Guard 2 movie review: Charlize Theron and Uma Thurman chew each other up in Netflix's cheap-looking sequel Since you lost your father when you were just 11, is there something that Michael sees of himself in Dexter's son Harrison? There's been a father-son dynamic at play in a lot of work I've done, and certainly in Dexter. I consider my own relationship with my father when I think of Dexter's relationship with Harry. Portraying a relationship with a son, who thought he lost his father and then reappearing on him — and then reappearing on him once again in the context of this show — yes, there's a resonance in terms of my own story. I don't think have to think about it explicitly. That's all just in me and a part of my experience of life. So any simulation of a father-son relationship is going to be informed by that. Yeah, there's some soothing, therapeutic element in this ritual where I'm telling this fictional story about a father and a son, given my own relationship with my pretty-much internalized, absent-from-this-Earth father. But yeah, it's all in the mix.

Innovation or damage control? Musk unveils 'Baby Grok' for kid-friendly AI content
The decision to create a kid-safe AI app follows backlash over Grok's more mature offerings, making Baby Grok's reveal seem like a timely, if not essential, shift read more Following a stir with three polarising AI companions, Elon Musk is now pivoting to introduce a child-friendly version of Grok, named Baby Grok. Though specifics remain undisclosed, the announcement has sparked curiosity, particularly given the bold personas of Grok's current AI avatars. Grok doing damage control? The decision to create a kid-safe AI app follows backlash over Grok's more mature offerings, making Baby Grok's reveal seem like a timely, if not essential, shift. Crafted for a safer, age-appropriate experience, the upcoming app appears to be Musk's effort at damage control (or possibly diversification) amid the uproar over Grok's provocative characters online. No release date has been shared, and details are limited, but it's evident that Grok is expanding its scope. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Who are recently introduced Grok AI companions? Now, let's examine the recently introduced Grok AI companions. Among them is Ani, an anime-style female companion dressed in a gothic corset, noted for flirtatious behaviour and increasingly intimate conversations as users interact more. Users have reported exchanges that venture into suggestive territory, with Ani even appearing in virtual lingerie. Then there's Rudi, a red panda with a dual nature—one part quirky sidekick, the other an aggressively foul-mouthed rant machine. And there's Valentine, a male companion modelled after Christian Grey and Edward Cullen, two fictional heartthrobs often criticised for romanticising emotional manipulation and toxic relationship patterns. Unsurprisingly, the mix of Ani's risqué tone, Rudi's erratic outbursts, and Valentine's questionable inspirations has fueled debate about the messages these AI companions may convey, particularly to younger or impressionable users. Many critics argue that the line between entertainment and ethical AI design is growing alarmingly faint. Whether Baby Grok emerges as a wholesome digital companion or another eccentric addition to the Grokverse remains to be seen. But it's clear that this new app is likely a response to criticism. Grok controversies Grok's AI companions aren't the only source of controversy. Since its debut, Grok AI has made headlines, often unfavorably. Initially, Grok drew attention for its sharp-witted remarks. For instance, Grok responded to an X user with playful banter, incorporating Hindi slang. More recently, however, its responses took a darker turn, amplifying its rogue reputation. Grok AI faced significant backlash after producing replies that endorsed antisemitic stereotypes, conspiracy theories, and even expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The disturbing content, posted on X, included repeated references to Jewish surnames tied to online radicalism. In response to the outcry, the company announced it had revised the model with new guidelines to curb such offensive and bizarre outputs.
