Pawan Kalyan is back and ready to light up the screen, as he rolled onto the sets of Ustaad Bhagat Singh in Hyderabad, and fans are absolutely buzzing. Mythri Movie Makers dropped a slick behind-the-scenes video on June 11, 2025, showing the Power Star pulling up in a Range Rover, all set to dive into the latest shooting schedule for this action-packed flick directed by Harish Shankar.
The video, captioned “Iss baar sirf Aandhi nahin, toofan hain,” captures Pawan strutting into an aluminum factory in Hyderabad, where the team’s filming key scenes for the next month. With Devi Sri Prasad’s thumping music in the background, the clip has fans going wild, calling it a total “mass” moment. It’s been a long wait since the project paused in September 2023 because of Pawan’s duties as Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister, so seeing him back in action feels like a big win.
Ustad Bhagat Singh brings Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar together again after their 2012 blockbuster Gabbar Singh. While early reports pegged it as a loose remake of the Tamil hit Theri, the team’s now saying it’s an original story, easing fans’ worries after Harish’s recent miss with Mr Bachchan. Pawan’s playing a no-nonsense cop, with Sreeleela as the leading lady, and the film’s shaping up to be a high-energy action fest. X posts are buzzing about Pawan jumping into the shoot ahead of schedule on June 10 instead of June 14, showing he’s all in despite his packed calendar.
The road to this point wasn’t smooth, with rumors swirling earlier this year that the film might be shelved due to Pawan’s political commitments. But producer Ravi Shankar squashed those doubts, promising a 2026 release with a script that’s “extraordinary.” This Hyderabad schedule is a big step toward wrapping up filming by early next year, even as Pawan juggles Hari Hara Veera Mallu and They Call Him OG (hitting theaters September 25, 2025).
With the aluminum factory set alive with action, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is gearing up to deliver the kind of high-octane drama Pawan’s fans live for. Harish Shankar’s direction, Devi Sri Prasad’s killer music, and Mythri Movie Makers’ big-budget vision have set the stage for something epic. Fans are already counting down to 2026, ready for Pawan Kalyan to bring the “toofan” to the big screen.
