Boycott HHVM: After nearly two years hiatus from his profession, Pawan Kalyan makes a grand comeback with the big-budget period action drama Hari Hara Veera Mallu (HHVM), which is slated for a grand release on July 24, 2025. The film is directed by Jyothi Krishna and stars Nidhi Agarwal as the female lead. It has been extensively promoted despite his near-involvement due to being recently assumed as Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh during early promotional activities.
The promotions of the film took an unexpected turn when the hashtag #BoycottHariharaVeeramallu began trending on social media. The controversy erupted with the grand pre-release event held at Shilpa Kala Vedika, Hyderabad which had many members of both the political and film industries.
Pawan Kalyan mostly caused the row which flared up after his speech at the pre-release event. He made comments that were taken as barbs against YSRCP head and former CM Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. Some of these statements are:
“Those with the Prime Minister’s contact will not be having any cash.”
“Let us show our strength. I do not have goons or weapons. You are in my heart.”
These comments almost immediately set political unrest into action and gained traction and momentum behind the boycott from the YSRCP supporters.
YCP leaders and fans voiced their protest on social media flooding with allegations that it had political shades. Many outrightly condemned the film by declaring:
“Only shameless people watch this film.”
They called on others to join them in boycotting the movie, thus creating strong waves of negative publicity very close to the actual release date.

Whether or not the boycott will affect the commercial run of the film is yet to be seen but this much is certain. Hari Hara Veera Mallu has now become not just a movie but a flashpoint in the ongoing political narrative of Andhra Pradesh.
