Chennai, July 8 (NationPress) Clearing up persistent misconceptions surrounding the power star Pawan Kalyan's film Hari Hara Veera Mallu, the creators have revealed an enlightening fact — the movie is not merely a retelling of a traditional folk story, but rather a vibrant fictional narrative deeply intertwined with Sanatana Dharma, designed for a modern audience seeking mythic storytelling.
Director Jyothi Krishna, who took the helm of the film midway, has completely transformed the storyline, infusing it with profound spiritual themes and cinematic power.
“Hari Hara Veera Mallu is more than just a historical warrior; he embodies a divine essence, a fictional character drawing inspiration from the united forces of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu,” Jyothi Krishna explains.
“Our aim transcended mere storytelling; we aspired to establish a legacy. Veera Mallu serves as a bridge between Shaivism and Vaishnavism, akin to Ayyappa Swamy.”
The title itself encapsulates the spiritual significance — Hari represents Vishnu, while Hara represents Shiva. This duality is artfully depicted on-screen through powerful visuals: the eagle, a representation of Garuda (Vishnu’s vehicle), flies as a silent guardian, while the protagonist wields a Damarukam (Lord Shiva’s drum) that resonates with the rhythm of righteousness. Insiders suggest that the hero is a force born from both deities, destined to emerge when Dharma is under threat.
Notable producer AM Rathnam, recognized for his grand cinematic vision, has supported the film with uncompromising scope and ambition.
The film's music is composed by the legendary M.M. Keeravaani. It features cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa and Gnanashekar V.S., with production design by Thota Tharani. Editing is handled by National Award-winning editor K L Praveen.
In addition to Pawan Kalyan, the cast includes Nidhi Aggarwal, Bobby Deol, Nassar, Sathyaraj, Thalaivasal Vijay, Raghu Babu, Subbaraju, and Sunil, among others.
