Harish Shankar, a celebrated director in Tollywood, has experienced a roller-coaster journey in his career, especially with his projects involving Power Star Pawan Kalyan. After the massive success of "Gabbar Singh," Harish had another story ready, "Bhavadeeyudu Bhagat Singh." However, this project faced several delays. He then shifted his focus to a new film, "Ustaad Bhagat Singh," but the project stalled after a few days of shooting due to Pawan's political commitments.
The recent elections resulted in a coalition government, with Pawan Kalyan becoming the Deputy CM. This new role casts doubt on his return to the silver screen. Even if he does come back, "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" might not be a priority, as Pawan is committed to completing "Harihara Veeramallu" and "OG" first.
Meanwhile, Harish Shankar is progressing with "Mr. Bachchan" and planning a new project. He is in discussions with Megastar Chiranjeevi, who is expected to finish "Vishwambhara" by the end of the year. If Harish completes the script in time, they might start shooting early next year. Harish plans a commercial film with Chiru, aiming to finish it in six months. Afterward, "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" could resume, depending on Pawan’s availability. The Chiru-Harish film is likely to be produced by People's Media Factory.
