The Return of Pawan Kalyan

Though many film fans are eager to support Pawan, he is also leaving a footprint as he embarks on his first major cinematic journey into the historical-action drama arena, an ambitious blockbuster endeavor that combines everything the film industry has to offer: enormous risk, enormous stakes, and higher expectations.
Release Date Finally Set: July 24, 2025
After years of speculation and delays (and even hearing rumors of a June 12, 2025, postponement – not to mention the previous March and June delays), the Pawan Kalyan epic debut film in the period drama genre has a global theatrical release date of July 24, 2025.
Important confirmation points:
This date will replace the original theatre release dates scheduled for March and June and target completion of the film by July 2025; with the July 24, 2025, release date a realization of Pawan’s popular release date for his movies since it takes place 55 years after the original date of July 24, 1970.Â
Pre-Release Campaigning & Selling to Fans
