Several Backward Classes (BC) associations in Telangana have raised objections against actor Pawan Kalyan's 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' movie for distorting folk hero Panduga Sayanna's legacy. They claim that the movie's lead character is based on Sayanna, which shows him through a ‘misleading’ narrative. The groups stated they'll try to block the film’s release if their concerns aren’t addressed.
