The crew of the movie has reportedly been waiting for Pawan for the past week. Everyone was waiting for Pawan to join the shoot, and all of the rooms and accommodations for the unit were reserved at RFC. Additionally, Pawan has not yet confirmed anything. Where sets are built, rents are soaring. The producer, Ratnam, is reportedly quite concerned about the extra charges that are driving up the film's budget.
The filming of hari Hara Veera Mallu has already been long-delayed and protracted. Huge sets and ancient buildings from the past are used to recreate the prior era in this large-scale historical action adventure movie. Any delay in the film's production results in financial overruns and waste. Heavy rains that ruined the sets caused the movie to already incur losses. The new sets had to be built afterwards by the producers.
