Keep politics out of ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu’, say Pawan Kalyan fans and JSP leaders

Members of the Pawan Kalyan Fans Association and Jana Sena Party (JSP) leaders have appealed to rival political parties not to politicise the screening of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring actor-politician Pawan Kalyan.

JSP leaders K. Kiran Rayal and Chinnamgari Ramana, on Saturday, distributed sarees to sanitary workers deployed at theatres screening the film. The gesture was described as a token of gratitude for the workers’ support during the benefit shows.

Addressing the media, the leaders urged political opponents, fans of other film stars, and a section of both mainstream and social media to refrain from spreading negativity about the film. “The film is a must-watch for people across all social groups and categories. It offers a glimpse into our history. However, a section of social media affiliated to a particular political party is deliberately circulating negative feedback,” they alleged.

Claiming that the film has already grossed ₹200 crore, the JSP supporters expressed confidence that it would soon touch the ₹500 crore mark, which they said would reflect “the might of Pawan Kalyan’s popularity”.
