A crucial release for Pawan Kalyan
Ustaad Bhagat Singh is more than just a festive release. It carries significant expectations for Pawan Kalyan, marking his second film after taking office as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. The film is directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. It also reunites the actor-director duo after their successful 2012 film Gabbar Singh.
In the film, Pawan Kalyan plays Bhagat Singh, a determined police officer who takes on powerful forces despite overwhelming challenges.
Cast and release details
The film features Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna alongside Pawan Kalyan in key roles. It was initially scheduled to release on March 26, 2026, but was preponed to March 19 to coincide with Ugadi celebrations. The date shift came after Yash’s Toxic was postponed, opening up a festive window. However, the new release date also sets up a direct clash with Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which is already generating strong buzz.
