There are many pros and cons to making a film with a big actor, on par with someone like Pawan Kalyan. The kind of craze he commands in the Telugu states, and the kind of turnout he gets at theatres is unparalleled, which means that his films would have very less to do with whether they are good or not. Unless and until the film is really bad, Pawan’s films always bring in good collections.
While the investment made on Pawan’s films is most of the time retrieved for sure, it becomes a dangerous bet when there’s no clarity over the future of the film. The same thing is happening with the films that Pawan has lined up, especially with Hari Hara Veera Mallu, as the film has been on floors for over two years now, and the financial burden has only been increasing. The film’s shoot is being postponed continuously by Pawan for various reasons, adding more pressure to the producer.
On the other hand, the makers of Pawan’s next films are also concerned, as the actor turned politician is currently busy with his political commitments, and there’s no clarity over when he will be available for them, given that Pawan has to complete HHVM first.
