(@APDeputyCMO) Pawan Kalyan addresses calls to boycott HHVM, challenges fans For reasons that might be political or personal, some people on X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms have used hashtags like #BoycottHHVM and #DisasterHHVM since the film's premiere. Addressing it, Pawan said, 'I've been seeing negativity around Hari Hara Veera Mallu and boycott calls for the film. Please, go ahead. A lot of times, I believe my films might not be released or work. I mean…I come from a small place in Nellore. It's great that I am where I am today. I don't know my worth, but you tell me I'm successful when you want to boycott my films. Is this a Quit India movement? I've gone through a lot more than this.' He then addressed his fans, urging them not to take negativity around the film to heart and challenging them to hit back if they have the 'guts' to do so. 'I specifically want to tell something to my fans. Meeru antha sunnitham ga undakandi ayya (Don't be so sensitive). Why are you all feeling down because someone has said something? I am the one being beaten down; you enjoy life, feel free. Don't feel bad for every comment on social media. Dhammunte tirigi kottandi, etla daadi cheyyalo cheyyandi (If you have the guts, hit back). Chew out all the negative aspects,' said Pawan. He also claimed that after he said that it was not about him, producer AM Ratham, or director Jyothi, but 'about our civilisation; it's about Bharatiyata'.
