Ustaad Bhagat Singh is a 2026 Telugu-language action drama directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under the Mythri Movie Makers banner. The film stars Pawan Kalyan in the lead role alongside Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna, R. Parthiban, K. S. Ravikumar, Gautami, Ramki, and Nawab Shah. Marking the reunion of Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar after the blockbuster Gabbar Singh, the film arrived in theatres on March 19, 2026, coinciding with the Ugadi festival.
The story follows a courageous man named Bhagat Singh, whose life is shaped by the ideals and values taught to him during his childhood. Raised with a strong sense of justice, he grows into a fearless individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of corruption and oppression.
As powerful enemies tighten their grip on society, Bhagat Singh takes it upon himself to protect the innocent and challenge those who misuse their authority. His journey leads to intense confrontations, personal sacrifices, and a battle against forces far stronger than himself. Guided by his principles, he becomes a symbol of resistance for the people around him.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh is directed by Harish Shankar, who also developed the story. The screenplay was written by Harish Shankar along with Dasaradh, Ramesh Reddy, Praveen Varma, and Chandramohan. Cinematography was handled by Ayananka Bose, while Karthika Srinivas served as editor. Music was composed by Devi Sri Prasad, with Thaman S contributing to the background score.
The film was one of the most anticipated Telugu releases of 2026, largely due to the return of the successful Pawan Kalyan–Harish Shankar combination. Production began in 2023 and continued over multiple schedules before the film finally reached theatres in 2026.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh was released in cinemas on March 19, 2026. Following its theatrical run, the film premiered on Netflix on April 16, 2026, with Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam language options available for streaming.
