Harish Shankar, amidst rumors surrounding his projects, has reportedly begun work on the Tollywood remake of Ajay Devgn's "Raid," titled "Mr. Bachhan" starring Raviteja. This development indicates that he is engaged in another project before resuming Pawan Kalyan's "Ustaad Bhagat Singh." Despite clarifications from "Deputy CM Gaaru" about his imminent return to shoots, speculations continue to swirl around the fate of "Ustaad Bhagat Singh," originally a remake of the Tamil film "Theri."
Addressing the ongoing rumors, someone recently posted online suggesting that "Ustaad" had been shelved indefinitely. When fans sought clarification from Harish Shankar, he responded humorously, expressing his indifference to such gossip. In a tweet, he stated in Telugu, "I didn't care about rumors when they said 'Ustaad' won't start. Now, I don't even have time to read those rumors."
Assuring concerned fans, Harish Shankar affirmed that "Ustaad Bhagat Singh" is still in the pipeline and will proceed once he secures Pawan Kalyan's availability. Meanwhile, his other project "Mr. Bachhan" has completed most of its shoot and is currently focusing on its music release.
