Ustaad Bhagat Singh reportedly follows the story of a man inspired by his teacher, who names him Bhagat Singh and shapes his values. A tribal boy grows up with strong morals and unwavering courage. Standing firmly against injustice, he takes on evil forces despite overwhelming odds.
Earlier, the movie was scheduled to release on March 26, 2026, but the date was later advanced after Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups postponed its premiere.
Apart from Pawan Kalyan, the Harish Shankar directorial also features Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, Nawab Shah, R. Parthiban, Rajeev Kanakala, BS Avinash, Posani Krishna Murali, and Gautami, among others, in key roles.
Initially, the team behind Ustaad Bhagat Singh announced that the film would have background scores composed by Thaman S. The songs were originally composed by Devi Sri Prasad. However, due to time constraints and prior commitments, the musician was unable to compose the background score. As a result, the makers roped in Thaman for the same.
Moreover, reports were suggesting that the film is a remake of Thalapathy Vijay’s Theri. However, the director has dismissed these claims. The Pawan Kalyan starrer had recently completed its UA certificate, with the trailer slated to release on March 14, 2026.
Pawan Kalyan was last seen in the lead role in the gangster action film They Call Him OG. Directed by Sujeeth, the movie is part of the Sujeeth Cinematic Universe, which also includes Prabhas’ Saaho and Nani’s upcoming film Bloody Romeo.
