Pawan Kalyan has released two movies so far, after his return, but the actor signed more than five films. One of the earliest films that he signed was director Krish’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which was the second project Pawan started, after Vakeel Saab. However, due to the pandemic, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has been severely affected, with the shoot having to be stopped in between.
By the time everyone could get back to shooting, Pawan was focused on Bheemla Nayak, unable to allot dates for HHVM. Recently, Pawan resumed shooting for HHVM, but the schedule came to an end, and there have been speculations that the shoot has been paused due to financial issues. However, it is now being said that the real reason for this is the clashing or lack of dates of actors.
The producers have been renting out the studio spaces where the sets have been erected, for years now, due to which the budget of the film has severely increased. With the current trend in Tollywood, it is to be seen whether or not HHVM will be able to recuperate its finances.
