OG and Hari Hara Veera Mallu sequels shelved

OG, Hari Hara Veera Mallu sequels shelved. Power Star Pawan Kalyan recently entertained with period entertainer Hari Hara Veera Mallu and action entertainer OG and is now set to enthrall all his fans and movie lovers with his upcoming film Ustaad Bhagat Singh.

It is known that both Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG ended with the lead to sequels. Now reports are coming that both the sequels have been shelved. A source shared that both producer DVC.Danayya, director Sujeeth along with Pawan Kalyan after discussions decided to shelve the project.

The source adds “The original couldn’t perform as expected across India. It managed to collect around Rs 130 crore in the two Telugu states, largely due to Pawan Kalyan’s charisma, while the budget crossed Rs 220 crore. A portion was recovered through OTT rights.”

 The source added "The makers reportedly need to invest another Rs 200 crore to mount the sequel, and they are willing to reconsider it only if they come across an exceptionally compelling script that emotionally elevates the narrative. " The source shared “The first part survived mainly because of heroic elevations and action, but it lacked emotional depth except for a few moments.”

The source revealed "Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu sequel also seems to have been shelved, as the film failed to ignite the box office despite strong day-one openings. The project fizzled out quickly due to poor VFX and heavy trolling."

The source continues “After Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Pawan Kalyan is expected to shift focus to straight, fresh subjects rather than waiting for sequels to take off.”
