The highly anticipated film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, is facing another delay in its theatrical release. Despite finalizing June 12, 2025, as the premiere date, reports suggest that the action film may now be released in July. Amazon Prime Video, which acquired the post-theatrical OTT rights for a whopping deal, has imposed a new condition that adds to the uncertainty. The film, set in the 17th century, also stars Nidhhi Agerwal and Bobby Deol.
According to reports, Amazon Prime Video has reportedly asked the makers to release the film by the end of July as per their agreement. If this condition is not met, it could jeopardize the deal between the makers and Amazon or lead to a deduction from it. This ultimatum comes after Prime Video had already accommodated two changes in the release date of Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The producers are expected to announce a new release date soon.
This isn't the first time Prime Video has laid down the law. Recently, the platform reportedly threatened to deduct ₹10 crore from its deal with the makers of Kuberaa— starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna—if release deadlines weren't met. It seems that Prime Video is strict about adhering to release schedules, and the makers of Hari Hara Veera Mallu will have to comply with the new deadline to avoid any potential losses.
The delay in Hari Hara Veera Mallu's release has generated curiosity among fans, who are eagerly waiting to see Pawan Kalyan's action-packed performance on the big screen. With the new deadline looming, the makers will have to work swiftly to meet the expectations of both the audience and Amazon Prime Video. It also shows how OTT's are dictating and interfering with release dates of films.
