Pawan Kalyan returns to Ustaad Bhagat Singh sets
In an early report shared by Pinkvilla, we had exclusively reported how the movie is looking to restart shooting in June. Sources close to development made it clear that the work would go on for a month and the film will be released in 2026.
The much-awaited venture is based on the Tamil-language blockbuster Theri starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role. With Harish Shankar helming the project, the film is expected to have changed from the source material.
The original film, directed by Atlee, featured the story of a former IPS officer, now living under a new name being hunted by his past. Interestingly, the Vijay starrer had recently been adapted in Hindi as well as Baby John with Varun Dhawan.
On the work front, Pawan Kalyan will also be seen in Hari Hara Veera Mallu. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and AM Jyothi Krishna, the film tells the story of the legendary outlaw Veera Mallu, who takes on the Mughal Empire in the 17th century.
The movie was initially slated to release on June 12, 2025, but was later postponed once again due to pending work and will likely arrive on big screens in July.
Apart from HHVM and Ustaad Bhagat Singh, Pawan Kalyan will also be seen in They Call Him OG, a gangster action drama directed by Saaho fame Sujeeth.
The film is scheduled to hit theaters on September 25, 2025, and has actors like Emraan Hashmi, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy, and more in key roles.

Maa box office collection day 3: Kajol's mythological horror surpasses Himesh Reshammiya's Badass Ravikumar, nears Kangana Ranaut's Emergency
Kajol has scored probably the best opening weekend at the domestic box office of her career as a solo lead with Vishal Furia's mythological horror film Maa. It's left far behind her last theatrical release, Revathy's 2022 relationship drama Salaam Venky, which barely earned in single digits within its entire short-lived lifetime. Maa earned Rs 6.75 crore on Sunday, its third day at the box office. This was a slight improvement on its earnings of Saturday at Rs 6 crore, a further spike from its opening day collection of Rs 4.65 crore. As per Sacnilk, the opening weekend earnings of Maa in India thus stand at Rs 17.40 crore. In the process, it's not only become the highest grossing solo film of Kajol's career, but also surpassed several other Hindi releases of this year. Those include another horror movie, Sanjay Dutt-starrer horror comedy The Bhootnii (Rs 12.52 crore), Sohum Shah-starrer thriller Crazxy (Rs 14.03 crore), Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer romantic comedy Mere Husband Ki Biwi (12.25 crore), and Himesh Reshammiya-starrer musical action film Badass Ravikumar (13.78 crore). The next goalpost for Maa are to beat the box office collections of Sonu Sood's directorial debut Fateh (Rs 18.87 crore) and Kangana Ranaut's period political drama Emergency (Rs 20.48 crore). If it beats Emergency, Maa will also emerge as the highest grossing Hindi film led by a female actor this year. Maa comes from the world of Vikas Bahl's hit supernatural thriller Shaitaan last year, which starred Ajay Devgn, Jyothika, and R Madhavan. Produced by her husband Devgn, Kajol's mythological horror also stars Ronit Roy. Some action portions of the film, including the climax, have also been directed by Devgn. Maa is facing stiff competition from the holdover release of the previous week, RS Prasanna's coming-of-age sports comedy Sitaare Zameen Par, which stars Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza among others. Also backed by Aamir Khan Productions, it's the spiritual sequel to the actor's 2007 directorial debut Taare Zameen Par. After a 10-day run at the domestic box office, Sitaare Zameen Par has earned Rs 122.65 crore so far. In the process, it's come close to beating the lifetime domestic earnings of AR Murugadoss' action film Sikandar, starring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, which made Rs 129.95 crore in its lifetime this year. Aamir's film is also inching closer to Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, which earned Rs 134.93 crore at the domestic box office this year. However, it still has miles to go before it can breach the developing box office collection of Kumar's other hit from this year — Tarun Mansukhani's whodunit comedy Housefull 5, which currently stands at Rs 195.09 crore, and is close to entering the Rs 200 crore club.
