8-Week Rule for OTT Premiere
As the film targets a wide release across different regions in India, it is expected to follow the standard eight-week gap between theatrical and digital premieres, in line with multiplex regulations followed in North India. According to 123telugu, this delay in digital release is common for Hindi-dubbed versions of major films and is likely to apply to Hari Hara Veera Mallu as well, given its pan-India ambitions.
In what appears to be one of the major digital distribution deals of the year, Amazon Prime Video has reportedly secured the OTT rights of the film for a staggering Rs 50 crores. This deal signals the strong market potential the film holds even before its theatrical performance is measured. At the same time, negotiations are still ongoing for the film's theatrical rights, which are expected to be valued around ₹125 crores.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu Production
The film's journey to the big screen has been long and complex. Initially directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, the project later saw AM Jyothi Krishna taking over direction responsibilities. Shot over a span of five years, the film is now in its final stages of post-production. Despite the mounting production costs — which have crossed Rs 200 crores, far above the originally estimated ₹150 crores — the project has maintained high expectations, especially among Pawan Kalyan's fans.
Set in the 17th century during the Mughal Empire, the film follows the story of Veera Mallu, who is assigned to steal the famed Koh-i-Noor diamond from the Mughals. Pawan Kalyan plays the lead role of Veera Mallu, with Bobby Deol portraying Emperor Aurangzeb. The cast also includes Nargis Fakhri as Roshanara, Nidhhi Agerwal as Panchami, and veteran actor Satyaraj. Nora Fatehi, Vikramjeet Virk, and Jisshu Sengupta also play significant roles.
The movie has drawn interest beyond cinema circles, as it marks Pawan Kalyan's first pan-India release since he took office as Deputy Chief Minister. This has added to the buzz and anticipation among his fans and political observers.

However, the sudden exit of the latter shocked and disappointed everyone. Rawal has now revealed in an interview he's back on board. The actor revealed, 'There's no controversy. I believe that when people have loved something so much, then you have to be extra careful. It is our responsibility toward the audience.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He added, 'The audience has given you so much adulation. You can't take things for granted. Mehnat karke unko (film) do.' Rawal continued, 'Pehle bhi aane hi waali thi but it's just that we had to fine-tune ourselves (laughs). After all, all of them are creative, be it Priyadarshan, Akshay or Suniel. They are friends for many, many, many years.' Priyadarshan, who was supposed to direct Hera Pheri 3 , revealed that Akshay Kumar had tears in his eyes when he came to know about Paresh Rawal's exit.

What Akshay Kumar said about Paresh Rawal's exit I have been working with him for the last 32 years. We are very good friends. He's a great actor. I really admire him.

Hence, I don't think I am going to speak about it here,' said the actor at Housefull 5's trailer launch.

Charlize Theron takes aim at guests who attended Jeff Bezos' $50 million wedding extravaganza
Actor Charlize Theron isn't holding back and is dishing out some serious shade to the celebrities who attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Italy over the weekend. The Old Guard star ripped into the Amazon founder and his wife while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP) on Saturday, reports Hollywood Reporter.

Final figure is out here Charlize Theron poses on the red carpet of the fifth annual Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project Block Party at Universal Studios in Los Angeles.(Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP) She spoke about it when she took the stage to kick off the event, which raises funds to help CTAOP support the health and safety of youth in her native South Africa. 'I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding. But that's OK because they s**k and we're cool,' she said. Charlize went on to thank attendees for 'taking the time to be a part of this'. 'Especially when the world feels like it's burning because it is. Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast. Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise. This isn't just policy, it's personal,' she added. When the crowd clapped, the Oscar winner said 'yeah, f*** them'. About the wedding While Charlize Theron wasn't on the guest list, a star-studded crowd of A-listers and power players descended upon Venice to celebrate Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's three-day wedding bash. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos got married in a lavish Venetian ceremony despite the ongoing protests. The Amazon founder and award-winning journalist hosted a lavish wedding ceremony on June 27, following several days of celebrity-filled nuptial festivities. Several A-list celebrities attended the wedding, which included Bezos' fellow billionaire Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, model Brooks Nader, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom and his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, their youngest sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and family matriarch Kris Jenner. The wedding plans in Venice sparked outrage both online and offline, with demonstrations in the area demanding that the owner of Blue Origin pay more in taxes as a result of growing dissatisfaction with wealth and class disparities worldwide. The grand wedding, which concluded on June 28, the third official day of celebrations, is projected to have cost around $50 million.

Start the week with a film: Texture and layers in murder mystery ‘Only the River Flows'
Some murder mysteries lose their allure when the killer's identity is revealed. Only the River Flows is not that kind of movie. Chinese director Wei Shujun's film has the atmospherics, open-endedness and enigma that are often missing from the usual blunt-edged procedural. Only the River Flows (2023), adapted from acclaimed Chinese writer Yun Hua's novel Mistakes by the River, is a cerebral crime drama that alludes to the changes sweeping across rural China in the 1990s. Only the River Flows is set in 1995 in a village, where a flowing river proves to be the only element that is predictable. An old woman is clubbed to death by the riverside. The police chief instructs detective Ma Zhe (Zhu Yilong) to solve the case quickly. An abandoned cinema hall is repurposed as the investigation unit. The strict, taciturn and chain-smoking Ma Zhe quickly arrives at the modus operandi, but he's flummoxed when there are more murders. Is a serial killer at work? Ma Zhe isn't satisfied with the person designated as the perpetrator. His probe carries on even after he has submitted his official report, amidst his wife's difficult pregnancy and pressure from his superiors. The Mandarin-language film is available on Prime Video. The murder investigation in Only the River Flows expands into a subtly allegorical portrait of a fast-changing but also timeless China. Hierarchy, the emphasis on conformity and individual achievement all play a part in Ma Zhe's probe. An audio tape that lovers use to communicate, the sighting of a long-haired woman, the elderly victim's adoption of a mentally challenged man – these are clues not just into the killings but also the prevalent value system in an authoritarian, rule-bound country. Cinematographer Zhiyuan Chengma brilliantly captures the period detail, with the use of 16mm film stock adding texture and layers to the plot. Chengma's contribution is felt not just in the noirish scenes but also in the moments between Ma Zhe and his wife. Zhu Yilong makes a fine policeman, as mysterious as his target. The ending of Only the River Flows raises questions rather than supplying pat answers. It's that kind of movie. Play
