Pawan Kalyan fans are eagerly waiting for the comeback of the "Power Star" to the silver screen with 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 Sword vs Spirit'. Actor turned politician who serves as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh has multiple projects in his pipeline.

Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and Jyothi Krishna, this period action-adventure film may be postponed from the film's original release date of March 28, 2025.

As per a 123Telugu report, the delay is expected to be due to multiple factors. Reports indicate that Pawan Kalyan still has a few key scenes left to shoot.

Additionally, the extensive CGI and post-production work required for this epic period drama are expected to take more time than initially planned.
