In the tumultuous realm of Tollywood, the departure of Cinematographer V.S. Gnangesekhar from Pawan Kalyan’s film “Harihara Veeramallu” feels like yet another wicket lost in a game of uncertainty.
As the project languishes on the sets for years, promises of its release this year ring hollow to the skeptical viewer. With Pawan Kalyan’s presence in the mix, doubts only compound, especially as key members of the movie team continue to exit, casting a shadow of doubt over its fate.
Pawan Kalyan’s initial agreement to join “Harihara Veeramallu” predates the lockdown, yet subsequent projects like “Bhimla Nayak” and “Bro” have seen the light of day while this film remains in limbo.
Despite being touted as a Pan India venture, the lack of enthusiasm from Pawan suggests a disinterest in seeing “HariHara Veeramallu” to fruition, leaving many to wonder about the film’s future. Amidst the upheaval, the film’s casting has witnessed its own share of turbulence, with Bollywood actors like Arjun Rampal and Bobby Deol stepping in and out of villainous roles. Directorial changes, with Krish stepping down and Jyotikrishna stepping in to complete the project, further muddy the waters.
Now, with cinematographer Gnanashekar replaced by Manoj Paramahamsa, the film’s journey to completion seems increasingly uncertain. As Pawan Kalyan faces yet another setback, the constant reshuffling during production raises concerns about the film’s ultimate quality and impact. The question lingers: what lies ahead for “Harihara Veeramallu,” and when will it finally grace the theaters with its presence?
