New Delhi: On the sets of Pawan Kalyan's historical drama 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', a sizable fire broke out. The event took place on Sunday at midnight on the enormous movie sets built at Beerampet, Dundigul. Thankfully, nobody was inside the sets. The Dundigul police have reportedly filed a case, and an investigation is currently underway.
According to reports, a significant chunk of the movie set was destroyed by fire, costing AM Ratnam's Mega Surya Production huge loss. The event will cause a delay in the film's shooting because a new set will need to be created from scratch. The team has not yet made an official comment regarding the incident.
The final phase of shooting for the all-Indian action movie was rumoured to be underway. According to reports, the event happened just as the filming's last schedule was about to come to an end.
Krish Jagarlamudi, known for his work on Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, is the director of Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which will be released across India in a variety of languages. In addition to Pawan Kalyan, Niddhi Agarwal and Bobby Deol play important parts in the movie.
The movie was originally scheduled to be released in October, but due to the incident, it may now get postponed. The big-budget 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu', is said to be one of Pawan Kalyan's highly-anticipated projects.
In the meantime, Pawan Kalyan is also filming his other movie, Bro. Sai Dharam Tej also plays the lead in the Telugu version of Vinodhaya Sitham. Samuthirakani is the film's director, and Thaman S is the music composer.
As he prepares for the Assembly Elections in Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan intends to finish all of his film-related commitments shortly.
