‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’ set in a historical context is not a politically-motivated film, but an action thriller and a wholesome family entertainer, said Deputy Chief Minister and actor K. Pawan Kalyan.

Talking to media persons at the Jana Sena Party (JSP) office in Mangalagiri on Tuesday (July 22), Mr. Pawan Kalyan expressed happiness at the release of the movie, which saw many delays. Two natural disasters (pandemic) and one man-made disaster (a jibe at the previous administration’s alleged misrule) delayed the movie, the Deputy Chief Minister said.

Giving details about the movie, Mr. Kalyan said that it is about attempts to retrieve the Kohinoor diamond that was taken away from the Guntur region and landed with Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Talking about the Mughal Emperor, Mr. Kalyan said that the anger that remained against Jizyah Tax, levied by Aurangzeb on Hindus, perhaps found a vent through the movie.

The characters, however, are fictional, he said, adding that while the film does not have any political overtones, it may acquire them later on.
