Hari Hara Veera Mallu trailer: Pawan Kalyan's Veera Mallu challenges Bobby Deol's Aurangzeb in an epic battle to uphold dharma
Hari Hara Veera Mallu trailer: The wait is finally over for Pawan Kalyan fans! The makers of his much-anticipated film Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit unveiled its trailer on Thursday. Packed with high-octane action and impressive visual effects, the trailer promises a goosebump-inducing cinematic experience. The film also features Bobby Deol and Nidhhi Agerwal in key roles. The trailer begins with a voice-over that states how Hindus in India were being tortured at the hands of a ruler, and how a boy was born to challenge his rule and the injustice inflicted on his people. We then see Bobby Deol as Aurangzeb, a ruthless ruler who kills without hesitation and possesses the prized Koh-i-Noor diamond. Next, we are introduced to Pawan Kalyan in the titular role of Veera Mallu. His entry is dramatic — he confronts a tiger, chases down enemies on horseback, and wields a sword with effortless agility. Veera Mallu is tasked with taking the Koh-i-Noor from Aurangzeb and putting an end to his regime. The trailer also offers glimpses of Nidhhi Agerwal's character, who is seen asking Veera Mallu for help. Hari Hara Veera Mallu has long been a passion project for Pawan Kalyan. The film has been in the making for five years but faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the actor's growing political commitments, especially with the Andhra Pradesh elections and his work through the Jana Sena Party. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A. M. Jyothi Krishna, the movie also stars Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, Satyaraj, and Kabir Bedi in pivotal roles. While the film's screenplay is written by Jagarlamudi and Sai Madhav Burra, the music has been composed by MM Keeravani. After multiple delays, the movie is finally slated to release in theatres on July 24, across multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada.
