Grand \u2018Ustaad Bhagat Singh\u2019 Pre-Release Event Held<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI hope \u2018Ustaad Bhagat Singh\u2019 achieves a success on the scale of \u2018Gabbar Singh\u2019,\u201d says Power Star Pawan Kalyan<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After the sensational success of Gabbar Singh, Power Star Pawan Kalyan has teamed up once again with Cult Captain Harish Shankar for the film Ustaad Bhagat Singh. The film is being produced on the banner of Mythri Movie Makers by Naveen Yerneni and Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film stars Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna as the female leads. Music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad while the background score is by S. Thaman.<\/span><\/p>\n

The songs, teaser, and trailer released so far have impressed audiences and created huge expectations for the film. With expectations touching the sky, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is all set to hit theatres on March 19, coinciding with Ugadi, promising to redefine mass entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, the film\u2019s team held a grand pre-release event on Sunday evening at Police Grounds in Hyderabad, attended by thousands of enthusiastic fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pawan Kalyan\u2019s Speech<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Pawan Kalyan said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGreetings to all the fans who attended the Ustaad Bhagat Singh pre-release event and to those watching it live. I love cinema deeply. Cinema is what fed me and gave me recognition to serve the people today.<\/span><\/p>\n

That is why I always wish my producers to prosper and my fans\u2014who come with so much excitement for my films\u2014to feel happy. I never focus on how much money a film collects; I only wish that the film should be good.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see it as Telugu cinema or Tamil cinema\u2014I see it as Indian cinema. It\u2019s a proud moment that our Telugu film industry has reached the level of winning Oscars.<\/span><\/p>\n

For me, there is only one hero\u2014Megastar Chiranjeevi. When I stand beside him, I forget that I am a hero myself. I am very happy that my brother Chiranjeevi watched the Ustaad Bhagat Singh trailer and tweeted about it. My thanks to Ram Charan as well for his tweet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone works together hoping for a film\u2019s success. But during that journey we face many challenges. Completing a film despite those difficulties is not easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the film I have done with Harish Shankar after Gabbar Singh. Initially we planned a different story, but later it changed. Then the pandemic happened. In between, I entered politics and took on public responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite all that, without affecting my duties, we completed this film in a very short time\u2014within 40\u201345 days. I worked only about five to six hours a day. Harish planned the schedule brilliantly. Ustaad Bhagat Singh gave me the confidence that I can continue doing films.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mythri Movie Makers have delivered many successful films like Pushpa, Janatha Garage, and Srimanthudu. Their consistent success comes from their hard work.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thank lyricists Chandrabose, Bhaskarabhatla, and Kasarla Shyam. I also thank PRO Lakshmi Venugopal, costume designer Neeta Lulla, choreographer Dinesh Master, stunt masters Ram\u2013Lakshman, Nabakant, and Prithvi, writers Ramesh Reddy and Dasarath, editor Karthik Srinivas, art director Anand Sai, cinematographer Ayananka Bose, music director Devi Sri Prasad, and Thaman who handled the background score.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sreeleela is a wonderful dancer and performer. This role will be memorable in her career. Raashii Khanna accepted this film without even hearing the story, just to act with me\u2014thank you for that. My thanks also to Parthiban and K. S. Ravikumar for their roles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Naveen always wanted to make a film like Gabbar Singh with me. We hope that wish will be fulfilled with this movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason this film has turned out so well is director Harish Shankar. If one among the fans becomes a director, that\u2019s Harish Shankar. A filmmaker born from the soil of Telangana. He made this film with immense passion to present me the way fans love.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the bottom of my heart\u2014hats off to Harish Shankar. He is a man of great knowledge, a great writer, and a great director.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope this film becomes as big a success as Gabbar Singh. Everyone in the team worked very hard. I\u2019m eagerly waiting to show this film to you on March 19, Ugadi.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cinema cannot be separated from our lives. It is our greatest form of entertainment. I wish all heroes do well and all films succeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Andhra Pradesh government supports cinema by allowing ticket price hikes when necessary. Without fans, there is no Pawan Kalyan. There is only the distance of two hearts between my fans and me.<\/span><\/p>\n

My films should always entertain while also carrying a meaningful message. I hope you all like Ustaad Bhagat Singh.<\/span><\/p>\n

My clan is one that loves you, and my star is one that serves you. I thank the Telangana government and the police department for granting permission for this event. I wish everyone a happy Ugadi and Ramadan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Harish Shankar\u2019s Speech<\/span><\/p>\n

Director Harish Shankar said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, I want to share why this film took time. Initially we planned a story set in a college backdrop\u2014something like a continuation of Khushi. It was about two students who separated because of ego and later meet again as lecturers in the same college. Later, due to some reasons, the story changed. COVID also had an impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

People say I finished the film very quickly. The delay happened because of me, and the quick completion also happened because of me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout this journey, our producers Naveen and Ravi carried me on their shoulders and supported me wholeheartedly. They are dream producers for any director. They always give more than what is asked for the film.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the song \u2018Collar Ey Etthara\u2019, the biggest set in Mythri\u2019s history was built. Anand Sai designed amazing sets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even when stories changed and many rumours circulated about me, writer Dasarath stood by me for two and a half years. My thanks to him, Ramesh Reddy, Praveen Varma, and Chandra Mohan.<\/span><\/p>\n

On screen the hero is Pawan Kalyan, but behind the screen the hero is Devi Sri Prasad for delivering fantastic music. Thaman\u2019s background score is also superb.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the request of distributors and exhibitors, we are releasing the film for Ugadi. This Ugadi will be \u2018Ustaad Ugadi.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Parthiban and K. S. Ravikumar played powerful roles. People know Sreeleela for her dance, but in this film they will talk about her performance. Fans will also see Pawan Kalyan\u2019s dance in this movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

My direction department worked tirelessly, even sacrificing sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the COVID period when I was mentally low, my god Pawan Kalyan called me and asked me to plan the shoot. From then on, we worked with great enthusiasm.<\/span><\/p>\n

He ran, and made all of us run along with him.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Gabbar Singh there was a dialogue: \u2018For someone with content, a cut-out is enough.\u2019 Now I\u2019ve changed it: \u2018For someone with commitment, a cut-out exists.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Pawan Kalyan lives in my heart\u2014inside, outside, and as my courage. Many times he worked on this film after spending the day in public service.<\/span><\/p>\n

He worked with his heart for this film. Let\u2019s meet in theatres on March 19 and celebrate Ustaad Ugadi.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sreeleela\u2019s Speech<\/span><\/p>\n

Actress Sreeleela said she learned a lot from Harish Shankar\u2019s sincerity and dedication. She thanked the producers for giving her the opportunity and praised Devi Sri Prasad\u2019s music.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking about Pawan Kalyan, she said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe is not only a Power Star but also a People\u2019s Star. I\u2019m not big enough to talk about him. Wherever I went\u2014even to Tamil and Kannada film sets\u2014people asked about him.<\/span><\/p>\n

I learned positivity, awareness about the world, and love for nature from him. It\u2019s good for cinema that Pawan Kalyan continues doing films. He is a true inspiration to many.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s celebrate this Ugadi as Ustaad Ugadi, and watch vintage Pawan Kalyan on March 19.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Raashii Khanna\u2019s Speech<\/span><\/p>\n

Actress Raashii Khanna said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI always wished to act with Pawan Kalyan from the beginning of my career. That dream came true with Ustaad Bhagat Singh. I thank Harish Shankar for this opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pawan Kalyan is very simple in real life and constantly thinks about the people. He inspired me as a human being.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s an honour to share screen space with such a great star. I witnessed how hard Harish Shankar worked for this film. I believe this film will recreate the magic of Gabbar Singh.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Producers\u2019 Speeches<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Naveen Yerneni said that making a film with Pawan Kalyan had been their dream since the early days of entering the industry. Even after becoming Deputy Chief Minister and being busy with public service, Pawan Kalyan ensured the film was completed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar said watching the film\u2019s output made them very confident about its result. He described the film as a \u201csuper-duper commercial entertainer from start to finish.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The grand event, hosted by popular anchor Suma, was filled with excitement and cheers from fans. Several film personalities attended and wished the team great success for Ustaad Bhagat Singh.<\/span><\/p>\n
