Newly re-elected TFCC chief Suniel Narang steps down
Veteran film producer
Suniel Narang
on Sunday resigned as president of the Telangana Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC), only a day after being elected to a third consecutive term. Speaking to Hyderabad Times, he said he quit because he felt 'hurt and disrespected'
by public remarks linking him to issues he 'had no involvement in.'
'My secretary said something and it was upsetting, especially since I wasn't responsible for the issues being discussed. I don't want to take names, but it was all too overwhelming at that moment. I felt stepping down was the best course of action. My decision may have seemed sudden, but it came from a place of feeling hurt and disrespected,' he said.
Background
At a TFCC press meet on Saturday, secretary V L Sreedhar criticised a proposed theatre bandh by some exhibitors and distributors that had been planned from June 1 but was later withdrawn. Sreedhar claimed, 'The bandh was driven by two producers and two directors.' Commenting on the postponement of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, he added, 'Due to the sudden postponement, lots of theatres that had already been blocked for the film's release are now lying empty.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Prime Video goes Kuberaa way, sets new condition over release of Pawan Kalyan's film
All eyes are on Pawan Kalyan's next big film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which has been witnessing consecutive delays over its theatrical release. While the makers had finally settled on June 12, 2025, for making its way on big screens, it seems another delay is imminent. According to strong reports, it is believed that the action film will likely be released sometime during July. Amid all the buzz, the film is now facing certain conditions levied by the OTT platform. Prime Video enforces condition for timely release of HHVM As per a Telugu Cinema report, Prime Video has now set a new condition on the makers of Hari Hara Veera Mallu after bagging the post-theatrical OTT deal with them. Accordingly, they have now set a new condition for the producer of the Pawan Kalyan starrer, forcing them to release the film by the end of July, as per their agreement. If not adhered to, it would directly risk the deal signed between the makers and the OTT platform, or worse, a deduction may be expected from the same. This has served as an ultimatum, as Prime Video has already been quite flexible in rescheduling the release date for this film twice before, initially for May 9 and then for June 12. As a result, the producer will be announcing a new release date soon. Prime Video dictated similar conditions for Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa The news about Prime Video enforcing strict timelines for the scheduled release of a film comes twice in a row after something similar was advised for another Telugu movie in the pipeline, Kuberaa. The producer of the Dhanush, Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna starrer recently revealed that the streaming platform has threatened to deduct Rs. 10 crores from the previously signed deal with them. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is touted to be a two-parter saga directed by Krish Jagarlamudi. Besides Pawan Kalyan in the lead, the film also stars Bobby Deol, Nidhhi Agerwal, Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, Satyaraj, and others.
