Hari Hara Veera Mallu Eyeing Early OTT Release

Pawan Kalyan's latest film, Hari Hara Veera Mallu, is struggling at the box office, and the makers are considering an early digital release on Amazon Prime Video. According to reports, the period drama may make its OTT debut on August 15, 2025, as an Independence Day special. However, no official confirmation has been made by the production team yet. Despite a promising start, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has not been able to maintain its momentum at the box office.

The movie was released amid high expectations and massive promotions as it marked Kalyan's first full-fledged pan-Indian project. However, it hasn't lived up to fans' expectations. The film reportedly has over 4,400 VFX shots, and an updated version of the film is currently playing in theaters with some bad VFX trimmed or removed, after it was criticized. The criticism regarding its VFX has been a major setback for the film.

One of the directors of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, Jyothi Krishna, has responded to the criticism regarding its VFX. Speaking to ABN, he admitted that he knew some visual effects in the movie weren't up to the mark. "When they nitpicked, all they could find was that the CGI and VFX were bad in some places." The movie also stars Nidhhi Agerwal as Panchami and Bobby Deol as Aurangzeb. Despite the criticism, the film's makers are trying to make the most of the situation.

The potential early OTT release of Hari Hara Veera Mallu could be a strategic move to attract more viewers and give the film a second chance. With its historical significance and Pawan Kalyan's performance, the film might still find its audience on the digital platform. Fans can look forward to seeing the film on Amazon Prime Video, if the reports are true.
