Following its festive release during Ugadi, Ustaad Bhagat Singh has opened to strong buzz in theatres, bringing Pawan Kalyan back to the big screen in a powerful police role. Directed by Harish Shankar, the film marks a significant collaboration that has generated considerable excitement among fans.

Nostalgia & Reunion

The film has also rekindled memories of the blockbuster Gabbar Singh (2012), which marked the first collaboration between Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar. The film was a sensational hit and played a key role in elevating the director into the top league. However, fans had to wait over a decade to witness their reunion on screen with Ustaad Bhagat Singh.

Third Collaboration Confirmed

Now, Harish Shankar has given fans another reason to celebrate. During a recent interaction on Twitter Space, the director confirmed that a third project with Pawan Kalyan is already on the cards.

“I will definitely do another different film with Pawan Kalyan. My third film with Pawan Kalyan garu will definitely happen very soon. This is my promise,” he stated.

When Will It Happen?

While the announcement has sparked excitement, the timeline remains uncertain. Pawan Kalyan is currently balancing his film career alongside his responsibilities as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, which could influence scheduling.

In addition, the actor is expected to begin work on a project with Surender Reddy, which is likely to go on floors soon. With multiple commitments ahead, fans will have to wait and see when this much-anticipated third collaboration officially takes shape.
