Pawan Kalyan-starrer ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ gets U/A certificate from CBFC Ahead of Clashing With ‘Dhurandhar 2’
By Sakshi Navare,
Pawan Kalyan-starrer “Ustaad Bhagat Singh,” which is directed by Harish Shankar, has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a U/A certificate without any cuts and a runtime of 2 hours and 34 minutes.
The production banner of the film, Mythri Movie Makers, announced the news on social media and wrote, "#UstaadBhagatSingh gets a U/A certificate. This summer, families are set for a blast in theatres with wholesome entertainment. GRAND RELEASE WORLDWIDE this Ugadi - 19th MARCH, 2026.#UBSOnMarch19th."
The film, which was earlier scheduled to hit the screens on March 26, was preponed by a week, after the Yash-starrer "Toxic" delayed its release from March 19 to June 4 due to tensions in the Middle East.
“Ustaad Bhagat Singh” has received a great response in the advance sales in the USA market and is expected to have an earth-shattering opening in the Telugu-speaking states. The film has a chance of getting more shows than “Dhurandhar 2” in its target areas due to the megastardom of Pawan Kalyan, the festival of Ugadi and the shorter runtime compared to the Ranveer Singh-starrer.
Talking about the box-office prediction of "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" in India, Taran Adarsh told Variety India, “In Telugu states, Pawan Kalyan is one of the biggest stars and I think ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ will be taking a mind-blowing, earth-shattering opening.”
Talking about the chances of “Dhurandhar 2” in Telugu states, he added, “Having said that, the first part got a lot of love and worked at the box office in a very big way in the Telugu state and I'm expecting the second part also to do well, but ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ is a very big opponent in Telugu state. So let's see how it goes. But as of now, Pawan Kalyan is a major star and “Dhurandhar 2” will have to compete with it.”
“Ustaad Bhagat Singh” also features Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, Nawab Shah, B. S. Avinash, Gautami and Chammak Chandra in prominent roles. On the other hand, “Dhurandhar 2” stars R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi, among others. It is helmed by Aditya Dhar.
