Once again Director Harish Shankar's Battle for Pawan Kalyan's Time
Director Harish Shankar long-awaited project, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, has faced numerous delays due to Pawan Kalyan political commitments

Despite beginning production in May, the film's shooting schedules have been repeatedly postponed as Pawan Kalyan juggled his political responsibilities.
Recently, the shooting of "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" resumed, but once again, Pawan Kalyan's political activities have disrupted the process. The Andhra Pradesh Police detained the Janasena party president in preventive custody in the NTR district after a dramatic episode unfolded late Saturday night.
Pawan Kalyan had been protesting the police's interference with his convoy at the Telangana-Andhra border while en route to his party office for a PCA meeting. Initially, Pawan Kalyan attempted to travel by air, but his special flight was prevented from departing from Hyderabad.
He then chose to travel by road, but his convoy encountered obstacles in the NTR district, prompting him to temporarily abandon his vehicle and walk towards Mangalagiri in Vijayawada. He even resorted to lying down and walking on the road at Anumanchipalli after being blocked from proceeding to Vijayawada.
Director Harish Shankar is in a challenging position, as he requires a substantial portion of Pawan Kalyan's time, approximately 70 days, to complete the film. The ongoing clash between Pawan Kalyan's film commitments and his political activities continues to be a source of uncertainty for the production of "Ustaad Bhagat Singh."
