Pawan Needs to Activate His ‘Manalni Evadra Aapedi’ Mode
Pawan Kalyan Caught Between Politics and Cinema
Powerstar Pawan Kalyan, who is currently serving as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, seems to be caught in a tight balancing act between his political duties and film commitments. Despite briefly returning to the sets of Harihara Veeramallu (HHVM), the project is still far from completion, and its release date remains uncertain. Likewise, his much-anticipated film OG is also losing momentum, with no solid promotional buzz in recent times. In this critical phase, fans believe it’s high time Pawan switches to what they call his “Manalni Evadra Aapedi” mode — his signature, unstoppable energy both on and off-screen.
Manalni Evadra Aapedi: OTT Giants Put Pressure on HHVM and OG
With Pawan’s schedule busier than ever due to political responsibilities, both Amazon Prime Video and Netflix are reportedly mounting pressure on the respective production teams.
- Amazon, the streaming partner for HHVM, insists on a theatrical release by mid-2025.
- Netflix, tied up with OG, is also pushing for a confirmed release date within the same year.
Failing to meet these timelines could jeopardize hefty investments and impact contractual agreements, which could spell trouble for the production houses involved.
Manalni Evadra Aapedi: Race Against Time for HHVM and OG
If Harihara Veeramallu doesn’t hit theatres by May or June 2025, industry insiders suggest that it could result in significant financial strain. The film has already faced multiple delays, and producers are desperate to revive hype around it.
As for OG, the buzz has faded due to long gaps in filming and lack of updates. Despite being directed by Sujeeth and backed by a strong crew, the film needs aggressive re-marketing to regain its momentum.
Can 2025 Be the Year of Pawan Kalyan Comeback?
With no new film projects on the horizon due to his full-time political role, 2025 might be Pawan Kalyan’s last cinematic outing for a while. If both HHVM and OG release within a span of four months, it will be a treat for fans and a blockbuster year for the actor-politician.
However, for that to happen, Pawan must step in soon to complete shoots, revive buzz, and ensure that both films meet their respective deadlines. If he does activate the “unstoppable” mode, 2025 could go down in history as a memorable year for his fanbase.
