Vijay Sethupathi opted out of Pedha Kapu 1. It was reported that Vijay Sethupathi had considered a significant role in the recently released 'Pedha Kapu.' He even took the time to listen to the story and expressed interest in joining the production a few months ago. However, as it turns out, Vijay Sethupathi initially expressed his intent to be part of the film but subsequently failed to show up for the shooting, leaving the entire crew waiting for several days.

Apparently, Vijay Sethupathi had a change of heart, likely due to concerns about the underdeveloped nature of his character in the script. He decided to withdraw from the project, recognizing that it might not align with his rising stature, especially as he had other major releases like 'Jawan' on the horizon. This information comes from a source in Chennai, who further notes that the role was eventually taken on by director Srikanth Addala himself. Unfortunately, the replacement did not result in an exciting outcome for the audience, as the film ultimately performed poorly at the box office. 'Sethupathi was fortunate to have avoided this particular role, given the film's lackluster performance,' the source adds.

Vijay Sethupathi, undoubtedly, marked his debut in Tollywood with an impressive portrayal as the ruthless and caste-obsessed father of Kriti Shetty in the blockbuster film 'Uppena,' showcasing his remarkable acting skills. He also made a brief appearance in another Telugu film, 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy,' and expressed his admiration for the legendary Megastar Chiranjeevi.

The source emphasizes that while Vijay Sethupathi received numerous offers from Telugu filmmakers, he declined most of them due to his reluctance to take on routine negative roles. He has risen to prominence as one of the most versatile and beloved heroes in the Tamil film industry. However, he did make exceptions for superstars like Kamal Haasan and Vijay, playing antagonist roles in their films, such as 'Vikram' and 'Master.'

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is affected by politics. Power Star Pawan Kalyan\'s decision to delay the shooting of his upcoming film, \'Hari Hara Veera Mallu,\' and prioritize regular commercial projects like \'Bro,\' \'OG,\' and \'Ustaad Bhagat Singh\' over the last three years is not driven by differences with director Krish Jagarlamudi or dissatisfaction with script changes. Instead, it\'s primarily a political strategy influenced by impending elections in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.\r\nThis shift is more of a political decision than anything else. Since entering the political arena, Pawan Kalyan has adjusted his film choices accordingly. He is determined to secure a substantial number of seats for the Jana Sena Party in Andhra Pradesh, leveraging his popularity, and is also eyeing seats in Telangana. Consequently, he has opted to postpone \'Hari Hara Veera Mallu\' to avoid any potential impact on his vote bank calculations, dismissing the rumors of discord with director Krish.\r\nThe source further explains that Pawan Kalyan is expediting the completion of his other films, \'OG\' and \'Ustaad Bhagat Singh,\' as they fall into the category of regular action dramas. These movies involve him portraying the roles of a gangster in \'OG\' and a resolute cop in \'Ustaad Bhagat Singh,\' devoid of any overt political undertones.\r\nHowever, when it comes to \'Hari Hara Veera Mallu,\' the film is inspired by a real-life story and revolves around the legendary outlaw Veera Mallu from the 17th century, who challenged the Mughal rule. Given that the Mughals are portrayed as antagonists and are depicted with their ruthlessness in the film, Pawan Kalyan is proceeding with caution. The concern is that portraying the Mughals as adversaries could potentially affect his standing with the minority vote, a significant constituency in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Pawan Kalyan is inclined to delay the film\'s release, and it may not hit the screens until after all elections, including the parliamentary elections in 2024.\r\nIn summary, Pawan Kalyan\'s decision to delay \'Hari Hara Veera Mallu\' is a calculated political move to safeguard his vote bank and electoral prospects in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, given the sensitive portrayal of the Mughals in the film.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"></div>
