This is a very ambitious milestone and goes to show the scope of the film-in budget more than ₹300 Crores-the fact that even Pawan Kalyan has his touch to sustain the buzz of a blockbuster.

Highest pre-release theatrical business achieved ever for a Pawan Kalyan film and beyond previous blockbusters such as Bheemla Nayak.
Proving that the advance deals seem robust, no doubt this was because of market confidence on the film's potential despite several delays and legal issues.
It is yet to be seen whether HHVM can cross its gross ₹260 Cr target and lead to profits for both its distributors and investors.
Now, with already ₹126 Cr in the kitty before release, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has set itself extremely high stakes. This weekend's performance will not just matter in Pawan Kalyan's career but also in Tollywood's big-budget, pan-India ambition.
