The production team of Ustaad Bhagat Singh has officially advanced the film's release to March 19, 2026.

Two Composers for the Film's Soundtrack

Directed by Harish Shankar, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is designed as a mass action entertainer that showcases Pawan Kalyan's dynamic screen presence. The film features a talented cast, including Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna in leading roles, with R. Parthiban, Ashutosh Rana, Gautami, Naga Mahesh, Temper Vamsi, and Avinash in supporting roles. Produced by Mythri Movie Maker, the film's songs, composed by Devi Sri Prasad, have already garnered a positive response from fans.

However, due to prior commitments, Devi Sri Prasad was unable to work on the film's background score. Consequently, S Thaman has been brought on board to handle this aspect, while Devi Sri Prasad's songs will still be featured in the soundtrack.

With the new release date, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is set to compete with the Hindi action thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and featuring Ranveer Singh alongside Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and R. Madhavan. The first installment of this franchise reportedly surpassed Rs 1,000 crore at the global box office.
