Harish Rebuilds Bond With Pawan Fans Ahead of UBS Release

Harish Shankar is one of the directors who gave immense joy to Pawan Kalyan fans and left a lasting emotional impact on them. At a time when Pawan was struggling without a major success for nearly a decade, Harish delivered a memorable hit in 2012 with Gabbar Singh. Though it was officially a remake, the director completely changed the treatment and presented Pawan in a powerful and stylish manner that thrilled fans.

Being a devoted admirer of Pawan himself, Harish understood exactly how fans wanted to see their star on screen. The film turned into a landmark in Pawan’s career and strengthened the special bond between the director and the fan base. After Gabbar Singh, Harish earned a permanent place in the hearts of Pawan fans.

However, this bond weakened years later when news emerged that Harish would once again collaborate with Pawan after a long gap. Reports suggesting that the new film was a remake led to strong opposition from some fans, who were already unhappy with Pawan doing multiple remakes after his re entry.

As rumors spread that the film was a remake of the Tamil hit Theri, one section of fans openly protested on social media and urged Pawan to drop the project. Reacting strongly to the criticism, Harish blocked several accounts on X that were trolling him or opposing the film, including many popular fan handles.

Over time, signs emerged that Ustaad Bhagat Singh was not a remake, and the negativity around the project gradually faded. As the release drew closer, many fans changed their stance and began requesting Harish to unblock them and move forward positively.

Responding to this change, Harish stated that everyone was part of one family and started unblocking fan accounts. With both sides coming together again, fans see this reconciliation as a positive development ahead of the release of Ustaad Bhagat Singh.
