\nDeputy CM Pawan Kalyan garu addressed the media on the eve of the film\u2019s release and spoke his heart.<\/span>
\nKey Highlights from Pawan Kalyan\u2019s Interaction with Media:<\/span>
\nClarification on the story:<\/span>
\nThe character Veera Mallu is fictional. There are rumors linking him to historical warriors like Sarvai Papanna, but the core of the story is different. It showcases how the Kohinoor, once found near the Krishna River, ended up in London.<\/span>
\nIt also highlights the oppression under Mughal emperor Aurangzeb \u2014 a ruler who even killed his own kin and imposed taxes on Hindus just to practice their faith.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q&A from the Media Interaction:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Q: Is Hari Hara Veera Mallu based on Sanatana Dharma?<\/span>
\nA: Yes. The film portrays a warrior who fought for Dharma during Aurangzeb’s cruel regime. Hindus had to pay a tax just to follow their religion \u2014 this fight to protect Dharma is the core of the story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: As Deputy CM, how are you balancing films, administration, and politics?<\/span>
\nA: Politics is my top priority. But cinema gave me identity, food, and livelihood \u2014 it remains an integral part of me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: This is the first time you are actively promoting a film. Why the change?<\/span>
\nA: This film is very special. It faced natural, man-made, and political obstacles. The producers stood by it with courage. Supporting such producers is my duty \u2014 promotions are my responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: You seem to have faced a lot of struggles while making this film. Can you elaborate?<\/span>
\nA: Yes. Politically, I faced many challenges \u2014 like being detained in Visakhapatnam. Ticket prices were unfairly reduced during the past government\u2019s regime, which hurt producers. They were intentionally targeted for working with me. Despite all this, we completed the film.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Has the situation changed from when you started the film to now?<\/span>
\nA: Every day of making this film was a struggle. But struggle defines growth \u2014 we kept moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Ticket prices have increased now, unlike during the past regime. Your thoughts?<\/span>
\nA: Ticket hikes were done for all films based on the producers\u2019 efforts, not just for mine. The current government is recognizing those efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Will you organize a special screening for fellow MLAs, MLCs, MPs, and Ministers?<\/span>
\nA: I hadn’t thought of it until now \u2014 but yes, that\u2019s a great suggestion. I will plan a special show for public representatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Johnny was a disappointment. You directed the climax of HHVM \u2014 what has changed between then and now?<\/span>
\nA: Johnny was a turning point. When it failed, I personally settled accounts with buyers and financiers and went silent for a while. That failure taught me how to handle setbacks \u2014 and helped me navigate political failures too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Will HHVM face a theatre shortage like some films do? And is Part 2 happening?<\/span>
\nA: No shortage at all. Part 2 has already completed 20% of its shoot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Will you continue making films while in politics?<\/span>
\nA: That\u2019s up to God. If He blesses it, anything is possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What should Andhra Pradesh do to develop a film industry like Hyderabad?<\/span>
\nA: We need to create proper infrastructure, especially film schools. That will naturally grow the industry and generate opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n
