Buzz: Why Directors Are Leaving Pawan Kalyan Movies?

  • November 6, 2023 / 05:00 PM IST

It is no secret that directors are distancing themselves from Pawan Kalyan’s films. Pawan Kalyan, a prominent star in the film industry, is not only an actor but also the leader of the Janasena political party. Balancing both roles requires careful planning, and it appears that Janasenani is struggling to do so for his own reasons. This is a key factor driving directors away from his projects.

One such instance is Pawan Kalyan’s collaboration with director Surender Reddy, which initially excited fans as it promised an action-packed entertainer. However, due to the lack of prospects for the film to go into production in the near future, Surender Reddy has opted to exit the project.

Another high-profile project, “Hari Hara Veera Mallu,” which marks Pawan Kalyan’s debut in a Pan Indian film, has been stuck in the filming stage for an extended period with no clear path to production in the coming months. As a result, director Krish has also departed from the project to focus on his next venture.

The latest industry buzz suggests that even director Harish Shankar, a staunch Pawan Kalyan fan, is considering walking away from “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” due to the hero’s increasing political commitments. It’s anticipated that a considerable amount of time will be needed before the film can resume production.
