Hari Hara Veera Mallu is the Divine Fusion of Shiva and Vishnu: Jyothi Krisna on His Grand Saga of Sanatana Dharma
Director Jyothi Krisna, who took charge of the project midway, has reimagined the narrative entirely, injecting it with spiritual symbolism and cinematic might. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu is not just a historical warrior — he is a divine manifestation, a fictional character inspired by the combined energies of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu,' shares Jyothi Krisna. 'We didn't just want to tell a story; we wanted to create a legacy. Veera Mallu is that bridge between Shaivism and Vaishnavism, like Ayyappa Swamy.' The title itself reveals the spiritual essence — Hari symbolizing Vishnu and Hara symbolizing Shiva. This duality is seamlessly translated on-screen through potent imagery: the eagle, symbolizing Garuda (Vishnu's vahana), soars as a silent sentinel, while the protagonist's Damarukam (Lord Shiva's drum) beats the rhythm of righteousness. Sources close to the film suggest the protagonist is a force born from both deities, destined to rise when Dharma is threatened.
Veteran producer AM Rathnam, known for his grand cinematic vision, has backed the film with uncompromising scale and ambition. Without pre-selling the rights (barring overseas and Hindi), Rathnam made a calculated decision to let the visuals speak first — and it worked.
The trailer release became an instant blockbuster online, drawing unprecedented attention and buzz. Distributors are now in a race, offering record-breaking sums to acquire rights. Rathnam's belief in the film's visual and spiritual power has paid off — and how.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu is not just a film — it's a visual hymn to the eternal spirit of Dharma, a divine epic where mythology meets magnificence.
Witness the rise of the divine protector. Hari Hara Veera Mallu — where cinema meets Sanatana.

'Beta ji, kitne bade ho gaye': UK musician's desi childhood memories in India win hearts
In a heartfelt video, a London-based musician opened up about what it was like growing up in India as a white woman. Raised in Jodhpur before moving to the UK, Bianca Nieddu describes her childhood as a blend of warmth, community, and "so many festivals." Bianca Nieddu said that she was raised as an insider in the Indian community. (Instagram/ biancanieddu ) Speaking about the things she missed about living in India, Nieddu said that she was raised as an insider in the Indian community. 'I didn't grow up on individualism. I grew up with aunties who brought us food when we were sick, neighbours who knew everything about our business, and people inviting us for dinner, and then they just fed us all their food," she said. As a white girl growing up in a desi community, Nieddu also stood out when she repeated common Indian phrases in perfect Hindi. She spoke about missing speaking fluent Hindi with flair, including the art of hand gestures during conversation. "Yaar, aaj kya kar rahe ho? Hai, dekho, dekho, dekho, kya kar rahe ho? Beta ji, wow, kitne bade ho gaya aap," she quipped, mimicking aunties from her childhood. 'Festivals. There are always festivals. I remember in school, we would have so many holidays because there was just this festival and that festival," she remembered. The video drew an outpouring of love and amused recognition from Indians around the world. "This is so wild to see as an Indian dude who was born and raised outside Philadelphia. The world has infinite perspectives," said one user. "Hahaha, girl, you're adorable! I'm Anglo Indian and totally get what you're saying," another user added. A third user said, "Girl, you are Indian as someone born and brought up in India, you are spot on with the culture and language and accent." Love this! Really! As an Indian married to a German, I can only dream of my husband speaking Hindi like this. Guess I need us to go back in time and have his parents move to India

When Ravi Kishan admitted stealing money from Temple and father's shop
Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan, active in Bollywood, once confessed that he stole coins from a temple and money from his father's shop. His father, a priest, punished him harshly, shaping Kishan's strength. He will next appear in 'Son of Sardaar 2'. Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan launched his acting journey with a Hindi film and remains active in Bollywood today. Meanwhile, an old interview of Ravi has resurfaced on the internet, where he candidly confessed that during his childhood, he resorted to stealing in temples. Open Confession A few years ago, Ravi appeared on the television show Aap Ki Adalat, where he discussed a variety of topics openly and honestly. During the interview, when host Rajat Sharma asked him about rumors that he had stolen money from a temple and from his father's pocket, he admitted to it without hesitation, speaking candidly about the circumstances and not hiding anything. The Story Behind the Theft When Kishan was asked about stealing money from the temple and his father's shop, he explained that his father was a priest who also ran a milk shop. He said, 'Every Saturday, people used to stick coins on Hanuman ji's forehead, and I felt Hanuman ji was in trouble. So, when I went around, I took 10 paise, 5 paise, or 20 paise. I also took money from the shop. It was wrong, but I felt it was mine.' When his father found out, Kishan said he was beaten badly with a leather strap, and those punishments made him strong. Upcoming Film: 'Son of Sardaar 2' On the work front, Ravi will be next seen in the film 'Son of Sardaar 2'. It is an action comedy film directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and produced by Ajay Devgn , Jyoti Deshpande, N R Pachisia and Pravin Talreja. It is a spiritual sequel to the 2012 film 'Son of Sardaar'. The film also stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Mishra and the late Mukul Dev. It will release in theatres in August 2025.
