Ee sari performance badhalipodhi! Pawan Kalyan wows fans in Ustadh Baghath Singh trailer

The Ustaad Bhagat Singh trailer is here, and Telugu cinema is having a full-on celebration. From the very first frame to the last, it's Pawan Kalyan at his most entertaining — charming, explosive, funny, and absolutely magnetic. This isn't just a trailer, it's a two-minute reminder of why the Power Star has one of the most passionate fanbases in Indian cinema.

The trailer’s heart is the romance between Pawan Kalyan and Sreeleela , and their on-screen chemistry is unexpectedly irresistible. Sreeleela matches Pawan Kalyan’s energy beat for beat, creating a playful, warm, and lively dynamic that makes you root for them from their first shared moment. As a romantic action entertainer , the film makes sure the romance takes centre stage.

The action is just as thunderous. Director Harish Shankar revives the explosive energy fans love in Pawan Kalyan’s mass avatars. Every fight sequence oozes swagger , standoffs crackle with tension, and Pawan Kalyan looks ready to reclaim the big screen . This is his second cop role under Shankar, after the iconic Gabbar Singh (2012) , proving their actor-director magic hasn’t faded.

Interestingly, Ustaad Bhagat Singh is a remake of the 2016 Tamil blockbuster Theri , which starred Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role — though director Harish Shankar has previously pushed back on comparisons, suggesting this version has been reimagined substantially. Given the tone of the trailer, which leans hard into comedy, romance, and mass entertainment rather than pure emotional drama, it already feels like its own beast entirely.

The dialogues steal the spotlight. One-liners in this trailer are instantly screenshot-worthy, sharp, punchy, and delivered with Pawan Kalyan’s signature swagger , landing like thunderclaps in a packed cinema hall. Just when you think you’ve caught the trailer’s rhythm, an unexpected dance sequence bursts in — spontaneous, joyful, and disarming — winking at the audience: “We know what you came for, and we’re giving you all of it.” On the music front, it’s a powerhouse. Devi Sri Prasad composes the songs while Thaman S handles the background score — two giants of Telugu cinema teaming up. The released tracks are already trending, and the trailer’s energy hints at a soundtrack set to dominate the year .

The film also boasts a seriously stacked cast around its leads. Alongside Pawan Kalyan, Sreeleela, and Raashii Khanna, the supporting lineup includes R. Parthiban, Ashutosh Rana, Nawab Shah, Rajeev Kanakala, Posani Krishna Murali, and Gautami, giving the film both mass entertainment muscle and acting depth. R. Parthiban plays the villain Nalla Nagappa , and even from the brief glimpses in the trailer, he looks like a formidable on-screen adversary.

The buzz around this trailer has been building smartly too. The makers aired a teaser during the India vs New Zealand T20 World Cup Final on JioHotstar, capitalising on the massive viewership to build momentum ahead of the release— a bold, savvy promotional move that clearly paid off given how widely the film is now being discussed.

Film commentator Umair Sandhu described the trailer as "bombastic" and declared that "the Pawan Kalyan era is back" and after watching it, it's hard to argue with that. Ustaad Bhagat Singh releases worldwide on March 19, 2026 , coinciding with Ugadi, and if this trailer is the promise - the film itself is going to be one unforgettable Ugadi gift to Telugu cinema.
