With nine days remaining for its theatrical release, “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” is expected to create a new milestone for a Telugu release in the USA market.
Talking about the film, director Harish Shankar told Variety India that he “aims to meet the expectations of Pawan Kalyan fans and deliver wholesome entertainment, emphasizing action, songs, and memorable dialogues,” calling “Ustaad Bhagat Singh” a special entertainer.
“Satisfying fans with his kind of image and his kind of aura is a pretty comfortable job. But today, because of the digital revolution and the introduction of YouTube, InstaReel, Shorts and all things, I want every movie lover to love my film. If it serves only the fans' purpose, I don't think I'll be doing 100% justice. So, the kind of family drama and entertainment coming in the film will be loved by every movie lover and every audience,” he added.
