Producer and distributor Dil Raju has opted not to acquire the distribution rights for Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film “Hari Hara Veera Mallu” in either the Nizam or Uttarandhra regions — a departure from his usual practice of securing rights in at least one of these territories.
Initially, Dil Raju’s banner, Sri Venkateswara Creations (SVC), expressed interest in the Nizam rights. He and his brother Sirish even held negotiations with producer A.M. Ratnam.
However, following the recent controversy over proposed theater shutdowns — and Pawan Kalyan’s indirect criticism of the so-called “Aa Naluguru” (a group reference that included Dil Raju) — the situation changed.
As a result, Dil Raju has decided to completely step away from distributing the film in any region.
Instead, Mythri Movie Makers — who are also producing Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film Ustaad Bhagat Singh — will now handle distribution in the Nizam region.
With just fifteen days left before the film’s release, official distribution deals are still being finalized, as producers continue negotiations in search of more favorable terms.
