\u201cIt’s been a long time since the audience watched a film like Ustaad Bhagat Singh\u201d \u2013 Director Harish Shankar at Pre-Release Press Meet<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA good Telugu film is arriving this Ugadi in the form of Ustaad Bhagat Singh\u201d \u2013 Actress Sreeleela<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After the sensational success of Gabbar Singh, Power Star Pawan Kalyan and Cult Captain Harish Shankar have teamed up once again for Ustaad Bhagat Singh. The film is produced prestigiously under 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 have already received a tremendous response, building huge expectations for the film. With anticipation at its peak, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is set to hit theatres on March 19, coinciding with Ugadi, aiming to redefine mass entertainment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahead of the release, the team held a pre-release press meet on Wednesday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

\u201cFirst of all, I would like to thank the media. It\u2019s been a long time since I met you all like this, and I\u2019m very happy. This Ugadi is going to be \u2018Ustaad Ugadi.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

In my opinion, it has been a long time since we\u2019ve seen a full-fledged commercial entertainer from a big star. Not just fans, but even general audiences haven\u2019t had a film recently that delivers all elements\u2014songs, dances, dialogues, romance, comedy, and powerful villain moments\u2014from a star hero.<\/span><\/p>\n

I may not be able to say what records Ustaad Bhagat Singh will create, but I can say one thing for sure\u2014after watching this film, everyone will feel that it\u2019s been a long time since they\u2019ve seen such an entertaining movie.<\/span><\/p>\n

From hairstyle to dance, dialogues to humor\u2014everything that audiences expect from Pawan Kalyan Garu is present in this film. It will give the satisfaction of watching a complete Pawan Kalyan film.<\/span><\/p>\n

We completed the film on time and delivered a strong output. With proper planning, we avoided wasting time and money. The biggest strength behind this was Pawan Kalyan Garu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being busy with governance and administrative responsibilities, he made time for us without affecting his duties. He would inform us in advance about his availability and schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the responsibility of every director like me to protect producers like Mythri Movie Makers. They should continue making films and stay in the industry for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not once did they show impatience despite delays. They never compromised on the budget and always gave more than what I asked for. Because of their support, the film turned out so well.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also thank Thaman, who stepped in like a hero at the last moment and took charge of the background score. He delivered an outstanding score for such an emotional film in just 12\u201313 days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything fell into place for this film. I thank each and every person who worked on Ustaad Bhagat Singh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone who watches this film will recommend it to at least ten others. Fans will come back to watch it again and again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Naveen Yerneni\u2019s Speech<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Naveen Yerneni said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely happy. It has always been our dream to make a film with Pawan Kalyan Garu, and that dream has come true with Ustaad Bhagat Singh.<\/span><\/p>\n

We initially planned this film 5\u20136 years ago, but due to COVID and Pawan Kalyan Garu\u2019s political journey, we finally started it in June last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

As producers, the entire process felt like a picnic, without any pressure. The main reason for that is our director Harish Shankar Garu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite Pawan Kalyan Garu being busy with public service, Harish planned everything efficiently and completed the shoot smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n

If every film is made like this, we can happily make ten films a year. Harish also handled post-production and publicity tirelessly, without even proper sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have watched Ustaad Bhagat Singh four to five times already, and every time I feel the same\u2014it is a complete entertainer. It has entertainment, emotions, and all commercial elements, making it engaging from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a full-fledged family entertainer. Premiere shows will begin worldwide from 5 AM tomorrow. We hope everyone watches and enjoys the film.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Actress Sreeleela said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, Ugadi wishes to everyone. It\u2019s very special for us that Ustaad Bhagat Singh is releasing as a Telugu New Year gift.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are very confident about the film. A good Telugu film is arriving this Ugadi, and it will be enjoyed by everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

We request the audience to support our film. The media\u2019s support has been unforgettable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raashii Khanna is a sweetheart. Even though we don\u2019t have scenes together, we bonded well during the shoot.<\/span><\/p>\n

This film is very important to us, and I hope everyone watches and enjoys it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

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

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

\u201cI\u2019m very excited that Ustaad Bhagat Singh is releasing tomorrow. It\u2019s my first film of 2026, releasing during Ugadi, and it stars Pawan Kalyan Garu\u2014so it\u2019s a triple celebration for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of us worked very hard for this film. Especially Harish Shankar Garu, who worked tirelessly, even sacrificing sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

From start to finish, he gave his all to this film. I hope Ustaad Bhagat Singh is loved by everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
