After months of speculation and suspense, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is once again in the news, and this time, it’s for real. Power Star Pawan Kalyan will again be back on the sets of this high-voltage action drama, helmed by Harish Shankar, the same director responsible for their last blockbuster, Gabbar Singh.
The project has been one of the most discussed yet dormant ventures in Tollywood, thanks to Pawan Kalyan’s political activities and personal health issues. Nevertheless, with new updates indicating a major turn of events, fans can now celebrate as the production is set to start shooting again very soon.
A Film Fans Have Been Waiting For
Since Ustaad Bhagat Singh was officially announced, it has created huge buzz among the fans of Pawan Kalyan as well as director Harish Shankar. Their last outing together, Gabbar Singh, was not only a hit but also a career lifeline for Pawan Kalyan during a period when he desperately needed one. That movie re-established him as one to be watched out for in the film industry once again, and expectations from this new movie have been extremely high ever since.
What’s even more thrilling is the role Pawan will be playing—a tough and bold policeman, something fans feel he is best suited to do. The teaser announcements and posters until now have only generated greater anticipation. Every small piece of information has generated buzz across social media, trending topics and conversations regarding the topic of the movie, soundtrack, and probable release date.
Delays Owing to Politics and Priorities
Despite the initial hype, production faced several roadblocks. Once a few preliminary schedules were wrapped up, shooting had to be stalled. Pawan Kalyan, being an actor as well as a prominent political leader in Andhra Pradesh as the chief of the Jana Sena Party, had to shift his attention towards his political commitments. Concurrently, he was also facing some personal health-related concerns, resulting in an extended halt to the shooting operations.
During this time, fans became more and more worried. With no official word from the creators for months, reports began circulating—from the movie being cancelled to Pawan losing interest. But all such worries were laid to rest recently.
Shooting to Resume Soon: Official Confirmation
Production house Mythri Movie Makers has now officially announced that the shoot for Ustaad Bhagat Singh will resume very soon. This news came as a big relief to all the fans who were eagerly waiting for updates.
As per the producers, Pawan Kalyan has just finished shooting for Hari Hara Veera Mallu and also joined the team of OG, another highly awaited movie. After completing his ongoing schedule of OG, he is likely to fully dedicate himself to Ustaad Bhagat Singh.
Mythri Movie Makers had been waiting eagerly for Pawan’s free dates, and with them having booked a schedule now, the team is working fast to complete the remaining parts of the shoot. The target is to wrap up production within this year itself and set up for a theatrical release during summer 2026.
Summer 2026: A Blockbuster in the Making
While the wait might feel long, the team seems determined to deliver a high-quality film. According to industry insiders, the film will be a mass entertainer with action, drama, and a powerful message, staying true to Harish Shankar’s signature storytelling.
The release of the film has been strategically scheduled for summer 2026, historically the blockbuster season for Telugu movies. With Pawan Kalyan being a star and Harish Shankar boasting a track record of success, distributors and exhibitors alike are already viewing this as a certainty at the box office.
Further, as the political scenario is expected to change in future too by 2026, Pawan’s supporters think this film could also be used as a platform for his dual persona—as a cine star and a people’s leader.
The Road Ahead for UBS
Although few details regarding the plot and supporting cast have been officially announced, there is word that the movie will have a leading lady, some serious action sequences, and an energetic musical score. There are high expectations from the music department as well, particularly because Pawan’s earlier films have all had catchy soundtracks.
Further casting updates, music director announcements, and behind-the-scenes peeks are soon to unfold as production resumes. Social networking fan sites already are making countdowns, fan activities, and celebratory posts over every piece of news.
