Actor Pawan Kalyan, renowned for his mass entertainers, is all set to play a vigilante warrior in a period action-thriller, titled ‘Hari Hara Veera Mallu Part 1: Sword Vs Spirit’. The epic saga is set in the backdrop of the Mughal empire, and also stars Bobby Deol. Now adding to the excitement, the makers have released the teaser of the film, and it features Pawan Kalyan fighting an evil emperor, played by Deol.
The teaser starts with Mughal soldiers oppressing the poor by looting them. A young girl then asks her father, “Do our lives have no value? They are exploiting us and taking away our hard earned income.” To which, the father replied, “Everyone is answerable to the higher authority. Our leader loots us who in turn gives his wealth to the Nawab of Golkanda who is governed by the Mughal emperor.” Watch the teaser and poster here:
Soon after, Bobby Deol is shown as the fierce Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The man is then seen telling the daughter that God will send someone to save them, and Pawan's character is then depicted to be jumping from a fort while fighting an entire army with swords and spears.
