The 'Power Star' craze has officially hit the theaters, as Ustaad Bhagat Singh released on Thursday. However, while fans are busy cheering for Pawan Kalyan in theatres for his action sequences, the conversation has already shifted to the movie's OTT release.
One of the most anticipated 2026 releases of the Telugu cinema is now playing in theatres. With Pawan Kalyan back on screens after the massive success of They Call Him OG, fans are now declaring Ustaad Bhagat Singh as a rampage. Being released on Ugadi, fans celebrated the movie.
