Pawan Kalyan calls Trivikram a godsend, explains reasons for choosing remakes

India Today6 days ago
Actor and Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, who has joined the promotions of his long-delayed film 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu Part-1', spoke candidly about the film's struggles, his bond with director Trivikram Srinivas, and the reasoning behind his string of remakes.Speaking at the pre-release event in Hyderabad on Monday, Pawan, recalling the difficult phase in his career, said, 'After one flop, I lost my footing in cinema. That's when director Trivikram Srinivas came and stood by me. I didn't even know who he was at the time. People usually come to you when you taste success, but he came to me during failure. My friend stood by me and made 'Jalsa'. They say adversity reveals true character. That's why I call Trivikram godsend.' advertisementPawan Kalyan, known for having several remakes in his filmography, including his earlier collaboration with AM Rathnam, 'Khushi', addressed the criticism during the event, saying, 'People often scold me for doing remakes. What can I do? We didn't have big directors supporting us.'
He further added, 'Many thought they could just make a remake with me and earn money. You might wonder why I do so many remakes, but how else can I run a political party and take care of my family? Original stories take time. Remakes seemed like a practical solution. It was never because I didn't want to do new films.'He concluded by crediting producer AM Rathnam for backing an ambitious, original project like 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', saying, 'It was his decision to make a strong, rooted film with me.'Here's the trailer: The period action drama is produced by A Dayakar Rao under Mega Surya Production and presented by AM Rathnam. The film also features Nidhhi Agerwal, Bobby Deol, Sathyaraj, Nargis Fakhri, among others. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on July 24.- Ends

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Box Office Collections: Pawan Kalyan starrer declared dead on Friday, moved a finger on Sunday

Hari Hara Veera Mallu pulled off a mild surprise over the weekend, as the film managed to pick up some collections in Andhra Pradesh. The Pawan Kalyan starrer grossed approximately Rs. 83.50 crore in India over its four-day opening weekend. Overseas, the film added another USD 1.60 million (Rs. 13.50 crore), pushing its worldwide total to Rs. 97 crore. After crashing nearly 80 per cent on Friday, the expectation was for Hari Hara Veera Mallu to continue free-falling. However, the film showed signs of stability on Saturday and then pulled off a surprising 60 per cent growth on Sunday in Andhra Pradesh. Even Telangana and Karnataka contributed decently, when they too could have completely collapsed. Of course, the weekend pickings don't change anything; the film was left for dead on Friday, but it managed to claw back some ground. It will now go over Rs. 100 crore worldwide in a day or two, which seemed far-fetched two days ago. The Day Wise Box Office Collections of Hari Hara Veera Mallu in India are as follows: Hari Hara Veera Mallu is yet another box office turkey delivered by Pawan Kalyan, who is arguably the biggest star in the Telugu states but hasn't delivered a box office winner in more than a decade. There was a Bheemla Nayak, which did decently well, but was unlucky to release in the circumstances it did and ended up from being a success. The film is also a setback for the Telugu film industry, which is having a horrific year at the box office, except for a couple of weeks of Sankranti Vashthunam during the holiday period. The last year was also a bad one in general, but there were four major hits spread across the year. This year has offered nothing. The Territorial Breakdown for Hari Hara Veera Mallu is as follows:
