After the big 'shock' his first film had given, no one expected that he would bounce back so strongly with his second film. But 'Mirapakay' had changed his fortune and landed an opportunity to work with Pawan Kalyan, who had been waiting for a hit then. 'Gabbar Singh' turned out to be an industry hit and Harish Shankar became one of the most sought after young directors in the industry. Even Chiranjeevi said that he is a big fan of 'Gabbar Singh' and would love to work with Harish.
