Was Kota Srinivasa Rao's Last Film With Pawan Kalyan? Here's What We Know
Last Updated: Kota Srinivasa Rao's last film appearance may be in Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The Telugu film industry continues to reel under the weight of grief as it bids farewell to one of its most cherished icons—Kota Srinivasa Rao, who passed away at the age of 83 on July 13, 2025. A towering figure in Indian cinema, Kota leaves behind a monumental legacy etched across decades, genres, and generations. Having shared the screen with nearly every major actor in the Telugu industry, his absence now feels like the fading of a golden era. According to a report by Gulte, Kota Srinivasa Rao's swansong may yet grace the silver screen—in none other than Pawan Kalyan's much-anticipated period action drama, Hari Hara Veera Mallu. In what now feels like a poignant full circle, the late actor himself had mentioned in one of his final interviews that he had shot for the film, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi. The director is said to have designed a special three-day role for Kota and personally reached out to request his availability for the shoot. Adding to the intrigue, whispers within the industry hint at Kota's possible appearance in another Pawan Kalyan project, Ustad Bhagat Singh, helmed by director Harish Shankar—a long-time friend of the veteran actor. While no official word has been issued from the production teams, fans and cinephiles alike are hoping to catch one final glimpse of the legend on screen. The outpouring of tributes on social media has been overwhelming, with stalwarts from across the Telugu film world sharing their memories and condolences. Among them, Chiranjeevi—who began his career alongside Kota—penned a heartfelt note, 'The void left by an actor like Sri Kota Srinivasa Rao is one that the film industry and cinephiles will never overcome. Praying for peace to his soul, I express my profound condolences to his family members, well-wishers, and fans." As fans light candles and revisit his iconic performances—from menacing antagonists to unforgettable comic turns—one thing is clear: Kota Srinivasa Rao wasn't just an actor. He was an institution. And perhaps, with Hari Hara Veera Mallu, the curtain may rise one final time to honor his irreplaceable presence.
