Hari Hara Veera Mallu trailer: Pawan Kalyan plays the titular outlaw Veera Mallu in the film.
The trailer begins with a voice-over claiming that Hari Hara Veera Mallu is set in a time when people were taxed for being Hindus, and a man was born to fight injustice. Pawan travels from Golkonda to Delhi to fight for dharma. Bobby is shown as Aurangzeb, who's not afraid to hack his enemies with ruthlessness. He has the Koh-i-Noor diamond in his possession. Pawan plays the titular Veera Mallu, someone who can go against the Mughal empire and save Panchami, played by Nidhhi. After a few action set pieces, the trailer ends with Veera Mallu facing off a wild animal. About Hari Hara Veera Mallu
Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 has been in the making for five years, and production will kick off in 2020. It was halted first due to the COVID-19 pandemic and later as Pawan campaigned in the Andhra Pradesh elections through the Jana Sena Party. Given that the actor-politician was last seen in the 2023 film Bro with his nephew Sai Durgha Tej, fans have been anxiously waiting to see him on-screen again.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu is set in the Mughal Era and is based on the life of the titular outlaw, Veera Mallu. Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi and Satyaraj play key roles in the film. Krish shot a portion of the film before walking out of the project, and producer AM Rathnam's son, Jyothi, helmed the rest of it. The film is slated for release on 24 July after significant delays.

Rahul Jacob: A political shadow lengthens over London's South Asian summer
Earlier this summer, an unusual depiction of a zebra gifted to Mughal Emperor Jahangir drew attention to the Iranian artist Mansour, who had painted it. A white nephrite jade cup that was part of Shah Jahan's collection and subtly embossed with his titles was also much remarked upon. A good bit of the exhibition was on loan from the Al Sabah royal family of Kuwait. If asked to guess in which city this art appreciation crash course on Mughal India was being conducted, most of us would have picked London. Indeed, The Great Mughals exhibition, which ended on 5 May, offered a foretaste of a particularly South Asian flavour to London this summer. Also Read: Rahul Jacob: Liberals must combine compassion with aggression The British Museum currently has a show that pays tribute to the art and sculpture of Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism between 200 BCE and 600 CE in a show titled 'Ancient India: Living Traditions.' And ramblers through West London's mystically beautiful Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park would encounter both a retrospective to artist Arpita Singh and a temporary summer pavilion, a prestigious commission done annually that was designed this year by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum. The vaguely Cubist exterior of Tabassum's creation provided shade during this unusually warm past week. It featured a pop-up reading room, featuring books by South Asian authors. But whatever visitors made of the puzzling structure, it was yet another emblem of London's multiculturalism. The alternately moving and arresting Arpita Singh retrospective was thoughtfully put together by the Australian curator Tamsin Hong. At the National Theatre, publicity has already begun for staging Shakespeare's Hamlet in a couple of months, starring Hiran Abeysekera, an impishly gifted actor of Sri Lankan origin who also starred in Life of Pi. Also Read: The political divide is no longer left versus right but centrists versus populists The National Theatre is headed by another Briton of South Asian descent, Indhu Rubasingham. London has long been a trailblazer of what Salman Rushdie once described as a 'melange, hotchpotch, a bit of this and a bit of that." This, he added, 'is how newness enters the world." But, in this very Indian summer of high culture and high temperatures, at the forefront of the UK's paradoxical politics, populist leaders are gaining support by stoking anger against immigrants. This summer was also heralded by an unprecedentedly strong showing by Nigel Farage's Reform Party in May, when it won 677 of about 1,600 seats it sought to fill in local council elections, eating into support for the Conservative Party but also the ruling Labour party. A YouGov survey last week showed that if parliamentary elections were held today, Reform would win the most seats but not an outright majority. This is an alarming prospect at many levels, given that this party was the most vociferous proponent of Brexit, which has led to a loss of the UK's momentum in economic growth. Also Read: Ajit Ranade: What Mamdani's rise in New York tells us about welfarism versus populism The UK's Labour government led by Keir Starmer has had a lacklustre first year in office after winning what was aptly described by commentators as a 'loveless landslide" a year ago. On Wednesday, the bond market's nervousness over the government's policies resulted in a jump in 10-year bond yields. This was after the government had to water down proposals for welfare reform that seemed tone-deaf to demands for equity among Labour Members of Parliament. It was also an unfortunate reprise of a plan to cut winter fuel subsidies for pensioners, which was announced last year and contributed to the government getting almost no political honeymoon period at all. The rollback this week means the government will forgo £5 billion in savings. It required a forceful backing of Chancellor of Exchequer Rachel Reeves by Starmer for calm to be restored. Indifferent leadership in London creates more space for populists to gain power—just as we saw in Washington. And this will almost certainly put London's vibrancy as a cultural capital at risk. Can the centre hold? I am not sure anymore, but that is all the more reason to treasure London's melange of cultures. On Monday, friends hosted a sumptuous dinner that included plump English asparagus with a Middle Eastern touch to the dressing. One of the guests spoke authoritatively about Indian handloom; her company, Robe de Voyage, features khadi and 'ahimsa silk'. Another guest told me about a magical haveli in Rajasthan. In the vast variety of food options at Wimbledon, a sandwich filling startlingly included an onion pakora. I remain in awe of it all. The author is a Mint columnist and a former Financial Times foreign correspondent.

Hyderabad man arrested for pirating 40 movies
The Cyber Crime Police of Hyderabad have arrested a 29-year-old man in connection with a large-scale movie piracy racket. Jana Kiran Kumar, an air-conditioner technician from NGOs Colony, Vanasthalipuram, was found to have illegally recorded and leaked around 40 Telugu films over the past year and a half, operating in coordination with known piracy platforms, said an officer from the Cybercrime Wing. The arrest follows a complaint lodged on June 5 by Yarra Manindra Babu from the Anti-Video Piracy Cell of the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce. He reported that HD versions of a film called 'Single', released on May 9, were uploaded on multiple platforms within hours of its theatrical release. Watermark analysis suggested the leak came from a cinema hall. An FIR was registered, and multiple sections of the IT Act, BNS, Copyright Act and Cinematograph Act were invoked. Talking about the racket, the officer said that Kumar initially found a meme referring to the piracy group 1TamilMV and contacted them through a Proton Mail address. 'He then shifted communication to Telegram, where he was assigned the job of recording new Telugu film releases for payments ranging from USD 300 to 400, paid in cryptocurrency,' said the officer. He would book tickets online, conceal a mobile phone in his shirt pocket, record the films inside theatres, and share the files via Telegram. Payments were made in Bitcoin and converted into rupees using crypto platforms such as ZebPay and CoinDCX. 'Films he is known to have pirated include Pellikani Prasad, 14 Days Love, Thandel, Game On, Kismat, and Rajadhani Files, among others. The most recent offence took place in May 2025. Two mobile phones were seized from his possession,' added the officer. Hyderabad police have reminded the public that piracy is a punishable offence under the Copyright Act, 1957, and Cinematograph Act, 1952 (amended in 2008). Recording or exhibiting pirated films, or even possessing them for profit, can attract up to three years of imprisonment, a fine of ₹1 lakh, and an additional ₹20,000 fine for each day the offence continues. In cases involving forgery and organised sharing, the punishment can extend to life imprisonment.
