Pawan Kalyan hasn’t delivered a massive blockbuster like Attarintiki Daredi in recent years, and his films like Vakeel Saab, Bheemla Nayak, and OG produced average to above-average results at the box office. He desperately needs a true industry blockbuster.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Pawan’s upcoming film, has that opportunity, as it is a proper mass commercial entertainer and is releasing in the prime summer season with a strong holiday advantage. If the film receives positive word of mouth, it has the potential to surpass Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu (300 Cr+ gross) and emerge as a regional industry hit.
The film must deliver these numbers for Pawan Kalyan to witness a solid box office comeback, giving a break to the average results. The team is set to begin full-fledged promotions this week, with the second single announcement expected shortly.
