Pawan Kalyan, a cinema actor not very keen on attending film events, thus surprised fans and the press alike in attending the press meet at Park Hyatt, Hyderabad. He expressed his intention to do so, saying:

Retirement Gossips
Even though the actor-Pawan never openly spoke about it-his statements somewhat showed a shift in priority:
"I entered films out of compulsion, not passion. Politics is where my heart lies."
He labeled himself as an "accidental actor" but insisted that his true passion lies in public service. This has led fans and analysts to speculate that Hari Hara Veera Mallu might in fact be his last film, at least for now.
He mentioned that the climactic portions of the film were shot over 57 days in very hot weather, a testament to his sincerity despite scheduling limitations. He also expressed his discomfort at not having participated in promotions, crediting co-star Nidhhi Agerwal for successfully conducting the campaign on her own.
