Even as Pawan Kalyan says he will show his power at box office, Hari Hara Veera Mallu are tickets priced at over ₹700
Pawan Kalyan promises to show his satta after Bheemla Nayak
Pawan's last solo film was the 2022 film Bheemla Nayak, a remake of the 2020 Malayalam hit AK Ayyappanum Koshiyum. The film, which also starred Rana Daggubati, made ₹158.5 crore worldwide. Talking at the pre-release event, Pawan brought up how tickets for the film were sold for a very low price in AP.
He said, 'Two years ago, when Bheemla Nayak was released, I didn't say anything when the tickets were sold for ₹10-15. But, just like you wanted, we are releasing the film when I'm in power with hiked ticket rates. Back then, you watched the film out of resolve. I have come out now after the effort you put in back then. Dani taluka meeru satta chustaru iroju (You will see me prove myself now).'
He also called himself a hero who grew up on flops, stating that he only hopes for success now for his producers and fans. 'I do not know if the film will make crores, because I have grown up in flops. Much like how you pray for it, I also pray for success. I don't know if it'll happen, but I know I gave it my best; the rest I leave to God. Meeku nacchinda, baddalakotteyandi (If you like it, make it a hit). That's all I can say because you (his fans) are my strength. You have been by my side through it all, my heart beats only for you,' said Pawan.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu tickets hiked in TS and AP
Pawan's statement came as both the TS and AP governments allowed the makers to hike HHVM ticket prices. Premieres in both states will be held on 23 July around 9 PM.
In Telangana, paid premier tickets on 23 July will cost ₹600 + GST. During the weekend, tickets in single screens will cost ₹354 and ₹531 in multiplexes, with a ₹200 hike.

Urvashi Rautela Questions National Award Jury For Ullozhukku: 'It's Not A Pension...'
Last Updated: At 56, Urvashi won Best Supporting Actress at the 71st National Film Awards for Ullozhukku but questioned the jury's decision, urging transparency as she played a central role. At 56, veteran actor Urvashi clinched the Best Supporting Actress award at the 71st National Film Awards for her performance as Leelamma in Ullozhukku, directed by Christo Tomy. While the honour adds another feather to her cap, Urvashi has publicly questioned the jury's decision-making process, specifically why she was recognised as a supporting actor despite playing a central role in the film alongside Parvathy Thiruvothu. In an interview with Manorama News, Urvashi didn't shy away from expressing her concerns. 'Is there any standard scale for acting? Or is it that after a certain age, this is all you'll get?" she asked pointedly. She went on to say, 'This is not pension money to be silently accepted. How are these decisions made? What criteria is followed?" The actress recalled a similar experience from 2006 when she won the Best Supporting Actress award for Achuvinte Amma, a film in which she also played the lead role. 'There were politics even then," she said, noting that she has always chosen meaningful roles over lobbying. Urvashi added that both she and Parvathy had been submitted in the Best Actress category for Ullozhukku, further questioning the jury's final verdict. 'These awards should make the recipient proud instead of being handed over with no explanation," she said. The actor has also urged Union Minister Suresh Gopi to look into the selection process and support greater transparency, especially for Malayalam cinema. Ullozhukku is a 2024 Malayalam drama film written and directed by Christo Tomy. Featuring powerhouse performers Urvashi and Parvathy Thiruvothu in lead roles, the film also includes Arjun Radhakrishnan, Alencier Ley Lopez, Prashanth Murali, and Jaya Kurup in pivotal supporting parts. Recognised for its compelling storytelling, Ullozhukku was officially selected for the International Competition: Fiction category at the 2nd Eikhoigi Imphal International Film Festival, held in 2025. While Ullozhukku won Best Malayalam Film, 2018 was awarded Best Production Design and Pookkaalam bagged Best Editing at this year's National Awards. Vijayaraghavan took home Best Supporting Actor. However, notable omissions like Prithviraj Sukumaran's performance in Aadujeevitham – The Goat Life led to growing discontent. Even Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan criticised the jury's decision to honour The Kerala Story. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Urvashi demands answers on SRK and Vijayaraghavan 's awards 'What were the parameters for picking Shah Rukh Khan as Best Actor? and how did Vijayaraghavan get reduced to a supporting actor?' she asked in an interview with Asianet News. Urvashi did not hold back as she drew attention to the lack of clarity, suggesting that the selection process lacked consistency and fairness. She pointedly added, 'Kuttettan [Vijayaraghavan] is a veteran. At the very least, why wasn't he considered for a Special Jury Mention?' SRK's Emotional Message After First National Award: 'What I Do Matters' How can that be called a supporting role? Urvashi also shared a behind-the-scenes story about 'Pookkaalam', revealing she was initially offered the role opposite Vijayaraghavan but declined due to the heavy physical demands, including over nine hours of makeup work daily. 'Even for crores, I couldn't do it. But Vijayaraghavan endured it all and gave a deeply committed performance,' she said. 'How can that be called a supporting role?' 'It's not pension money' Her frustration extended beyond individual awards to the representation of Malayalam cinema itself. 'Why wasn't the Best Actress award shared this year? What's the protocol? Is there any standard scale?' she asked. According to the legendary actress, the award should not be taken home quietly: 'This is not pension money. If you're giving me something, I should feel happy receiving it.' She even called on Minister of State Suresh Gopi to investigate why Malayalam cinema was overlooked. Meanwhile, in response to the controversial and propaganda film 'The Kerala Story's big win Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan shared a tweet on the last day that read, "By honouring a film that spreads blatant misinformation with the clear intent of tarnishing Kerala's image and sowing seeds of communal hatred, the jury of the #NationalFilmAwards has lent legitimacy to a narrative rooted in the divisive ideology of the Sangh Parivar. Kerala, a land that has always stood as a beacon of harmony and resistance against communal forces, has been gravely insulted by this decision. It is not just Malayalis, but everyone who believes in democracy, must raise their voice in defence of truth and the constitutional values we hold dear."
