Big Shock for Hari Hara Veera Mallu U.S. Premiere
The upcoming Telugu movie Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan, is generating mixed feelings in the U.S. The film is highly anticipated as it marks Pawan Kalyan’s return to cinema after focusing on politics for a while. It is scheduled to premiere in U.S. theaters on June 11, but early ticket sales have been lower than expected.
So far, the advance bookings have brought in less than \$100,000, which is quite low considering Pawan Kalyan’s huge fanbase. The film is a historical drama, offering a unique story compared to the usual commercial movies. This fresh setting should have attracted more excitement, especially since audiences today enjoy period films. However, the initial interest from fans, especially in the U.S., has been surprisingly weak.
The promotions for Hari Hara Veera Mallu have been steady, with songs and posters released regularly to build interest. The big hope now is the theatrical trailer, which is expected to make a strong impact and encourage fans to book more tickets.
In the current North American market, premiere day ticket sales are seen as a measure of a star’s popularity. For comparison, Ram Charan’s Game Changer started slow but eventually earned over \$1.3 million in early ticket sales. Meanwhile, Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 and NTR’s Devara earned even more during their premiere days.
Now, everyone is watching closely to see if Hari Hara Veera Mallu can gain momentum and attract a large audience, especially with Pawan Kalyan’s fans waiting eagerly after his last movie released in 2023. The film’s success will also be important for its producer, A. M. Rathnam.
