“A few moments of calm before the warrior outlaw takes over,” read the announcement from the makers of Pawan Kalyan’s highly anticipated pan-India period action drama, Hari Hara Veera Mallu. This special photograph was captured during the HHVM team’s meeting with the numero uno film star and Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM.

The team, which includes producer AM Rathnam, director Jothi Krishna, and cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa, met with Pawan Kalyan recently and discussed the plans for the film’s soon-to-commence schedule. The film has been in the making for over three years, and it has been put on hold ever since Pawan Kalyan got busy with his political activities. HHVM will be the first among Pawan’s three most eagerly awaited projects to resume its shoot.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is being directed by AM Jothi Krishna, who stepped into director Krish’s shoes. Bollywood stars Bobby Deol and Nora Fatehi play key roles in the movie, while going actress Nidhhi Agerwal will be seen as the film’s leading lady. Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani is scoring the soundtrack.
