Pawan Kalyan has been flipping between film shoots and politics of late. One of the complaints about his recent films is that he is taking films lightly and is doing them in 20 odd shooting days just for the sake of money.
Incidentally, the latest update from a reliable source says Pawan, all of a sudden, asked Harish Shankar to get on with Ustaad Bhagat Singh which was believed to be put on hold not too long ago.
Following the result of Bro, the narrative that Pawan is only focused on money and is willing to only do films that take 20 odd days has caught on. Even fans are coming to this opinion after seeing Bro.
As it appears, this talk has reached the main man, Pawan himself. He too is concerned that this might seriously affect his market if he doesn’t take necessary action.
This could be the reason why he has put Bhagat Singh back on the map. This is the biggest commercial film in his line up and it could be releasing next Sankranthi if Trivikram and Mahesh’s Guntur Karam fails to make it by that time.
For that to happen, Pawan still has to shoot for 90 odd days for the film. The shoot will have to be wrapped by October or November, meaning Pawan will have to be predominantly focused on the project and allot relatively more number of days for the shoot.
Apparently, Pawan is offended with the remark that he has become money minded and the best way to erase it is by going the extra mile with Harish’s Ustaad by allotting it more dates and projecting it as a proper commercial potboiler.
The effort is to undo the common audience and even fans’ implication that Pawan has taken cinema space lightly. That’s the reason why he has revived the project and wants to go the extra mile for it, say reports.
