Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh has been the most awaited project in Tollywood. Though early reports that it is a remake of Theri left a lot of fans disappointed, director Harish Shankar ensured that the movie is full of new elements, charging mass sequences, and a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience. Even though he has a terrific track record with remakes, fans are still cautiously optimistic, given that Mr. Bachchan did not quite make the desired dent.
Of Pawan Kalyan’s slate of movies, They Call Him OG has been the most vocal, while Hari Hara Veera Mallu, with its sweeping ambitions, hasn’t been able to sustain momentum due to negligible promotions. Meanwhile, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has been steadily going ahead in the background. Yet, Harish Shankar is leaving no stone unturned and putting his heart and soul into the movie, with the determination to create a high-octane mass entertainer that will keep fans excited.
For Harish Shankar, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is not another film—it’s his opportunity for a strong comeback. After the tepid welcome for Mr. Bachchan, this one is an attempt to get the audiences talking about his distinctive style, which turned Gabbar Singh into one of the most iconic mass films in Telugu cinema. Here, he is working on an even stronger and stylish version of Pawan Kalyan to create a film that connects strongly with the audience.
Adding to the buzz, Harish Shankar recently made a fascinating revelation at the pre-release event of Dragon. He revealed that one of the most intense scenes of the film is actually inspired by a real-life incident from Pawan Kalyan’s political career. When the YSRCP government tried to limit his movement, Pawan Kalyan famously rode an open-top jeep to speak to the huge gathering in Ippatam. The heartwarming image of thousands of followers accompanying him on motorcycles and automobiles became a viral sensation, defining his unshakable bond with the people. Harish Shankar is now reenacting this infectious moment in Ustaad Bhagat Singh, turning it into one of the movie’s most looked-forward-to sequences.
With Harish Shankar’s resolve and Pawan Kalyan’s unparalleled screen presence, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is turning out to be a high-voltage mass entertainer that the fans will not be able to afford to miss. Keep watching for more updates on this action-packed extravaganza!
