Pawan Kalyan all set to wrap up cop drama Ustaad Bhagat Singh with Gabbar Singh maker Harish Shankar
No more films for Pawan Kalyan, unless…
First in line to hit the screens is Hari Hara Veera Mallu, a period drama, which will be out on July 24, 2025. The film did not have any buzz, and seeing this pathetic situation, Pawan Kalyan stepped in and started promoting the film aggressively. He is giving a lot of interviews to promote the film, and in one of his interviews, he revealed that films are firmly on the backburner, unless, of course, he is in dire need of money at some point.
His next film is Ustaad Bhagat Singh, which is being directed by Harish Shankar, the man who gave Pawan Kalyan his career's biggest hit with Gabbar Singh. The shoot is happening at a brisk pace in Vijayawada. When asked for an update, Pawan Kalyan surprised everyone by saying that he has only four days of shoot left, after which his part will be wrapped up.
Harish Shankar is known to wrap up films quickly, but no one imagined that Ustaad Bhagat Singh would be completed in such a record time. Mythri Movie Makers, the producers of Pushpa, are producing this film on a massive scale. Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna play the female leads in the film which has music by Devi Sri Prasad.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh was said to be the remake of Vijay's Tamil film Theri, but Harish Shankar later changed the script and made it an original. Everyone is eager to see Pawan Kalyan in the role of a cop once again after Gabbar Singh.
Pawan Kalyan opens up on Hari Hara Veera Mallu-Part 2
Even though Hari Hara Veera Mallu was much delayed and had a change of director, Pawan Kalyan reveals that it will have a sequel to complete the story-telling. In fact, 30% of the shoot has already been wrapped up. Depending on the first film's box office performance, a decision will be made on when the shoot of the sequel will resume.

Kingdom box office collection day 1: Vijay Deverakonda delivers blockbuster Rs 15.75 cr opening, beats Kushi but fails to surpass Liger
Kingdom box office collection day 1: Vijay Deverakonda's highly-anticipated spy-action drama hit the theatres in multiple languages, on July 31. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the film had a blockbuster opening on its first day of release, earning 15.75 crore at the box office. It has already surpassed the first day box office collections of the actor's 2022 film Kushi (Rs 15.25 cr). However, Kingdom's debut stood marginally behind the film Liger (Rs 15.95 cr), which tanked with critics and eventually flopped at the box office. As per Sacnilk, Kingdom had an overall occupancy of 57.87% in Telugu language on Thursday – with morning shows at 63.56%, afternoon showsat 56.52%, evening shows standing at 50.12%, and night shows at 61.27%. The highest theatre occupancy was in the Warangal region, standing at 88%. Despite its Rs 15.75 crore earnings at the box office on day 1, Kingdom stands an inch behind Deverakonda's highest opener, Liger, opposite Ananya Panday. The film had banked Rs 15.95 crore on its first day. Kingdom is also facing tough competition from Mohit Suri's blockbuster hit Saiyaara. Starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film has already surpassed the Rs 270 crore mark at the box office. There are several other releases at the theatres, including, Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1, and Mahavatar Narsimha. Tripti Dimri, Siddhant Chaturvedi-starrer Dhadak 2 and Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 are also scheduled to release on August 1. ALSO READ | Kingdom X review: Fans call Vijay Deverakonda's film 'flawed version of Devara', film earns Rs 3.85 cr from morning shows An excerpt from SCREEN's review of Kingdom read, 'There's a palpable chase for glory around us right now that has come to define the modern theatrical experience as an escape, sans the sense of leisure one always sought from it. And in that very pursuit of dazzling us, Gowtam Tinnanuri's new film runs frantic and incoherent, and winds up a tad exhausted from the weight of its own ambition. Gowtam Tinnanuri does a fine job in setting up this portion of the story. His world's fantastical attributes are underplayed yet embellished by cinematographers Girish Gangadharan and Jomon T. John, who infuse a gritty texture into the visuals. The screenplay, too, stays taut (helped immensely by Naveen Nooli's editing) as it barrels through a load of information.' In Kingdom ,Vijay Deverakonda plays the role of Surya Suri, a police constable-turned-spy, who must rescue his long-lost brother, a smuggler, in war-torn Sri Lanka. Helmed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and bankrolled by Sithara Entertainments, Srikara Studios, and Fortune Four Cinemas, the movie also stars Bhagyashri Borse, Satya Dev, and Ayyappa P Sharma in pivotal roles.
