Will Pawan Kalyan quit cinema just like Thalapathy Vijay after completing Ustad Bhagat Singh? Actor REACTS
Will Pawan Kalyan quit films for political career like Thalapathy Vijay?
Speaking at the first pre-release event of his film, Pawan Kalyan was asked whether he would continue with movies after the upcoming releases of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, They Call Him OG, and Ustaad Bhagat Singh.
In response, the actor, who is also the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, commented that cinema will always remain a part of his life, regardless.
However, he added that it would not always mean he would continue acting. Pawan Kalyan then mentioned his plans to produce films under his own banner.
The actor said, 'Yes, cinema will always be a part of my life. But that doesn't mean I have to keep acting. Very soon, I'll start producing movies under my own banner, PK Creative Works.'
Pawan Kalyan broke silence on HHVM's frequent delays
The release of Hari Hara Veera Mallu had seen numerous delays due to various reasons. Addressing the matter at the pre-release press meet, Pawan Kalyan acknowledged that his unavailability at certain moments contributed to the issue.
However, the actor lauded the strong command of a producer like A.M. Rathnam, who ensured that the shooting continued and was wrapped up on time, even when he was not present.
In his words, 'Especially, HHVM underwent turmoil. It survived two COVID phases and also a creative disturbance. After I shifted my focus to politics, I could not give my time to the shoot. But Rathnam garu worked hard to complete the film.'
For the uninitiated, Hari Hara Veera Mallu also stars Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, Sathyaraj, Vikramjeet Virk, and more in key roles. The makers have partnered with Prime Video for the post-theatrical streaming rights of HHVM.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Box Office Collection Day 6: Pawan Kalyan film remains steady after VFX change, earns THIS amount
Hari Hara Veera Mallu Box Office Collection Day 6: Actor Pawan Kalyan's film Hari Hara Veera Mallu - Part 1 Sword vs Spirit has registered a sharp fall in its earnings after its first weekend at the box office. On Tuesday, the film maintained its grip despite reduced occupancy in theatres. According to the industry tracker Sacnilk, Hari Hara Veera Mallu - Part 1 Sword vs Spirit earned ₹ 83 lakh so far. The live data is based on morning and afternoon shows. The final figure will be out after the night shows. The film's current earnings could potentially double if it maintains its momentum. The total earnings of Hari Hara Veera Mallu now stand at ₹ 78.18 crore. The film had an overall 14.30% occupancy on Tuesday among the Telugu audience. The occupancy was as follows: On day 5, the film's India Net Collection was ₹ 77.35 crore. On the same day, its Worldwide Collection was ₹ 105.25 crore while Worldwide Collection was ₹ 14.10 crore. Its India Gross Collection was ₹ 91.15 crore on day 5. The film is directed by Krish and Jyothi Krisna. It stars Pawan Kalyan alongside Nidhhi Agerwal and Bobby Deol in the lead. The film was initially criticised for its poor VFX and CGI shots. The film was silently re-released with tweaked CGI recently. Some portions of the film were also reduced, shortening its total running time. Talking about it, director Jyothi admitted to ABN that he knew beforehand some scenes weren't fully up to par before their release. 'Anyone will troll only those who are in the limelight. People only get views when they write about something famous. I do not take any of the negativity to heart. Every single day, I see something negative being written about Hari Hara Veera Mallu. This is not the first time a film has taken this long to produce,' he said. Commenting on the criticism around the film's VFX or CGI, he said that they weren't 'that bad'. 'When they nitpicked, all they could find was that the CGI and VFX were bad in some places. No one could point out the story and screenplay, or say it's boring, or that they can't understand it. There are 4400 shots in the film that required CGI. I knew in my heart that a few shots weren't up to par, but it wasn't something huge. We needed to hold special premieres for which tickets were sold out, and they turned that minor issue into something major," he also said.

Mahavatar Narsimha leaked online: Mahavatar Narsimha, which hit the screens on July 25, has emerged as a sensational blockbuster despite being shot on a modest budget and its lack of star power. It has also received positive reviews. Now, in a shocking development, the animated action drama has been leaked online. This has shocked the industry. Mahavatar Narsimha leaked online Hombale Films, the banner behind Salaar and KGF, is currently in the limelight because of Mahavatar Narsimha. The animated blockbuster has impressed several movie buffs. In the latest development, it has been hit by piracy. According to reports, Mahavatar Narsimha has been leaked online on torrent sites such as Movierulz and Filmyzilla. Moreover, reports state that terms such as 'Mahavatar Narsimha watch online' and 'Mahavatar Narsimha Movierulz' are being widely searched. Piracy is a big problem facing the film industry. Previously, titles such as Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Naga Chaitanya's Thandel were leaked hours after their release. This takes a toll on the box office performance of the films in question. It also dilutes the efforts put in by those associated with the industry. Supporting piracy can also land one in serious legal trouble and leave one vulnerable to financial fraud. Fans are hence advised from accessing these pirated versions on sites like movierulz. They should, instead, watch Mahavatar Narsimha in theatres only. Mahavatar Narsimha box office performance The leak comes at a time when the film is doing well at the Indian box office. The animated action drama has earned Rs 21.85 crore (nett) in India so far. This is an astonishing figure given the moderate budget of Rs 20 crore and its relatively low key. The exemplary performance can be attributed to the healthy word-of-mouth. Most reviews have praised the visuals and the sincere storytelling. About Mahavatar Narsimha Mahavatar Narsimha is the story of the seemingly unstoppable demon king Hiranyakashipu. He vows to avenge his brother Hiranyaksha's death at the hands of Lord Vishnu's Varaha avatar. To achieve this, he adopts the path of austerity and acquires some awe-inspiring powers. He also declares himself to be a god. His young son (Prahlad), however, remains devoted to Lord Vishnu and goes against his wishes. He then remains a devotee despite facing numerous obstacles. This prompts Lord Vishnu's Narsimha avatar to neutralise Hiranyakashipu and restore balance to the universe. The film marks the beginning of an animated cinematic universe.

Bengal migrant workers: Complaint against CM Mamata for social media post on harassment refuted by Delhi Police
Kolkata: BJP Lok Sabha member from Kanthi constituency in East Midnapore, Soumendu Adkhikari, on Tuesday, complained to Delhi Police against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of allegedly disseminating fake and provocative content on her social media handle on the issue of alleged harassment of Bengali-speaking migrant workers from West Bengal in BJP-ruled states. Soumendu Adhikari is the younger brother of Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari. His complaint was about a video shared by the Chief Minister on the wall of her official X handle on Sunday, where she accused the Delhi Police of harassing and torturing a Bengali-speaking migrant family there. The Chief Minister shared the video and claimed that a child and his mother, who belong to a migrant family from West Bengal's Malda district, were allegedly beaten up by the police in New Delhi. In a written complaint with the Cyber Crime Branch of Delhi Police, a copy of which is available with IANS, Soumednu Adhikari asked the police to register an FIR against the Chief Minister under relevant Sections of the IT Act and take appropriate legal actions against her in accordance with law. "I am writing this letter to lodge a formal complaint against Smt. Mamata Banerjee, the Hon'ble Chief Minister of West Bengal, for the deliberate dissemination of false, fabricated, and communally charged content via her official social media handle, with the intent to malign the image of the Delhi Police, provoke public discontent, and stoke inter-community disharmony," read the letter. Adhikari said that the incident not only undermined the rule of law but also damaged the inter-state and inter-community harmony, and the faith of citizens in law enforcement. On Monday, the Delhi Police called the video "fabricated" and "politically motivated." Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Abhishek Dhania said that after a thorough investigation and enquiry, the Delhi Police have concluded that the entire video was baseless and fabricated. 'This video has been deliberately circulated on social media to tarnish the image of the Delhi Police. Further investigation is still going on," Dhania said on Monday. Soon after the rebuttal from Delhi Police, BJP's Information Technology Cell Chief and the party's central observer for West Bengal, Amit Malviya, slammed Mamata Banerjee and accused her of spreading fake news.
