Actress Nidhhi Agerwal has shared a major update on the highly anticipated Hari Hara Veera Mallu sequel. From plot hints to production plans, here are 3 big reveals fans need to know right now
Powerstar Pawan Kalyan’s mega action spectacle Hari Hara Veera Mallu is set to release on July 24. The movie directed by Jyothi Krishna wrapped up its censor formalities with a U/A certificate. Once the final touches are completed, the makers will dispatch the content for the USA premieres. A pre-release event is being planned in Vizag, and the team is also gearing up to release a few more promotional assets.
The film’s leading lady, Nidhhi Agerwal, has given her all for this period action drama. After dedicating five years of her career to the project, she is now actively participating in all the promotional activities. In a recent interview, Nidhhi revealed that about 20 minutes of the sequel has already been shot.
She added that filming will resume soon for the second installment. Pawan has already completed OG and is expected to wrap up his portions for Ustaad Bhagat Singh by the end of this month. So, will the star actor-turned-politician adjust his political schedule and allot dates for Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s sequel at the earliest? Let’s wait and see.
In a major development that has set Telugu cinema fans abuzz, actress Nidhhi Agerwal has officially confirmed that a sequel to the epic period action film Hari Hara Veera Mallu is not only on the cards but is also under active development. The actress, who played the female lead opposite Pawan Kalyan in the original film, made the revelation during a recent media interaction, sending fans of the franchise into celebration mode.
The original Hari Hara Veera Mallu, directed by Krish Jagarlamudi, was a high-octane historical action drama set in the Mughal era. The film, which saw Pawan Kalyan in a fierce, rebellious role, received significant attention for its ambitious scale, powerful performances, and striking visual effects. Although production delays due to the pandemic and political commitments of the lead actor slowed down the initial release, the movie eventually turned into a cult favorite.
Now, with Nidhhi Agerwal confirming the sequel, the excitement has been reignited — and here’s everything we know so far.
During an exclusive media interaction while promoting her upcoming project, Nidhhi was asked about her association with Hari Hara Veera Mallu and whether the storyline had room for a continuation. The actress didn’t hesitate.
“Yes, there have been active discussions about the sequel,” Nidhhi confirmed. “The team has a vision that extends beyond the first film. It’s going to be even bigger and more layered. Fans will definitely be thrilled.”
While she did not delve into intricate plot details, her confirmation that conversations are in motion indicates that the core team is returning, and the film’s producers are keen to expand the universe of Veera Mallu into a larger saga, possibly even a franchise.
Nidhhi further added that she is excited to reunite with Pawan Kalyan and director Krish, stating that the experience of working on the first film was both “transformational” and “creatively fulfilling.”
Sources close to the production hint that the sequel will take forward the story of Veera Mallu, who in the first film, was portrayed as a Robin Hood-like outlaw challenging the mighty Mughal empire. While the first film focused on his transformation from a rebel into a people’s hero, the sequel is expected to delve deeper into larger historical conflicts and explore more complex antagonists and kingdoms.
According to inside reports:
- The sequel could involve international alliances, including European traders and invading forces.
- The action sequences are said to be on a grander scale, featuring naval battles, sword combat, and siege warfare.
- Pawan Kalyan’s character will reportedly undergo a major transformation, showcasing a more strategic, political, and emotionally complex version of Veera Mallu.
The filmmakers are allegedly exploring locations in Mysore, Rajasthan, and Turkey for filming. Massive sets resembling 17th-century South Indian and Persian architecture are already in the concept design stage.
The sequel is also expected to bring in new characters, with casting announcements likely to follow in the coming months. Rumors suggest that a leading Bollywood actor has been approached to play a key antagonist.
One of the biggest concerns among fans has been whether Pawan Kalyan, who is currently serving as a Member of Parliament and actively engaged in Andhra Pradesh politics, will be available for the sequel. However, Nidhhi Agerwal reassured fans.
“Pawan sir is someone who gives 100% to whatever he commits to — whether it’s films or public service. I’m confident that when the script is ready and the vision is in place, he’ll make it happen,” she said.
Industry sources suggest that Pawan Kalyan has already blocked tentative dates in early 2026 for shooting the sequel. The team plans to wrap up pre-production by the end of this year, with principal photography likely to commence in the first quarter of 2026, depending on his political schedule and election outcomes.
The makers are also reportedly planning to use advanced virtual production technology, similar to what was used in Hollywood projects like The Mandalorian, to optimize shooting schedules around Pawan’s availability.
Within hours of Nidhhi’s interview, social media platforms exploded with excitement. Hashtags like #HariHaraVeeraMallu2, #PawanKalyanSequel, and #NidhhiAgerwalUpdate trended on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram reels.
Fans have started creating fan posters and animated teasers envisioning what the sequel might look like. Memes, tribute videos, and countdown pages have already started surfacing, even though the film has yet to go on floors.
Many fans believe that this sequel could finally be the Pan-India breakout that Pawan Kalyan’s cinematic legacy deserves. With a compelling storyline, rich period detail, and enhanced production values, Hari Hara Veera Mallu 2 could rival big-banner historicals like Baahubali and Ponniyin Selvan if executed well.
While there has been no formal confirmation from director Krish Jagarlamudi, his past statements during the first film’s release hinted at a multi-part narrative.
In a 2023 interview, Krish had said:
With Nidhhi’s confirmation, it now seems highly plausible that Krish is ready to helm a second installment, if not a full-blown trilogy.
Hari Hara Veera Mallu 2 is expected to be produced once again under Mega Surya Production, with AM Rathnam backing the project. Given the scale and expectations, trade analysts estimate the sequel’s budget to exceed ₹250 crore, making it one of the most expensive Telugu films ever attempted.
There’s also talk of shooting the film in multiple languages simultaneously, including Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, to ensure a wider Pan-India release.
