At the Hari Hara Veeramallu pre-release event in Hyderabad, director Jyothi Krishna had a brief argument with the police after they stopped his car. Though the event unfolded under strict security and official curbs, it concluded without major issues, but a video of the director’s confrontation quickly spread online, drawing widespread attention.

Meanwhile, bookings have begun, especially in the Nizam region, though Dil Raju remains hesitant to allot theatres due to rights held by Mythri Movie Makers.
