Raashii Khanna To Make Comeback With Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh?
Raashii Khanna returns to Telugu cinema with Ustaad Bhagat Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Harish Shankar. After a noticeable absence from Telugu screens, Raashii Khanna is all set to make a comeback with the much-anticipated film Ustaad Bhagat Singh, suggests reports. It is headlined by Pawan Kalyan. The project, directed by Harish Shankar, has generated strong buzz. The film, which is being produced on a large scale by Mythri Movie Makers, is a cop drama with mass appeal. Pawan Kalyan, who is currently juggling his political commitments as the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, is simultaneously wrapping up his film projects before dedicating more time to governance. He has already completed shoots for Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG, and is now focused on Ustaad Bhagat Singh, which is progressing swiftly in Hyderabad. Raashii has previously collaborated with Harish Shankar on lighter commercial entertainers like Hyper and Bengal Tiger, both of which are available on OTTplay Premium. Despite shifting focus to Tamil films such as Thiruchitrambalam and Sangathamizhan due to a lull in Telugu offers, her entry into Ustaad Bhagat Singh could mark a fresh chapter. Harish Shankar is no stranger to success with Pawan Kalyan, having earlier delivered the hit Gabbar Singh. The director is also known for crafting strong female roles, as seen with Shruti Haasan's career resurgence. Fans hope Raashii will enjoy a similar revival. The film's music is being composed by Devi Sri Prasad, known for blockbuster albums like Pushpa and Julayi. Meanwhile, Raashii Khanna will also be seen next in Telusu Kada, opposite Siddhu Jonnalagadda and directed by stylist-turned-director Neeraja Kona.

Raashii Khanna eyes comeback with Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh
Telugu star Pawan Kalyan, who is also the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, is busy wrapping up his pending projects one after the other to concentrate on his political career. After completing Hari Hara Veera Mallu and OG, he is now busy shooting for yet another film, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, directed by Harish Shankar. The long-delayed film's shoot is progressing at a brisk pace in Hyderabad, with the Telugu sensation Sreeleela playing the female lead. Raashii Khanna joins Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh The latest update is that popular heroine Raashii Khanna has joined the sets. She will be playing the second lead in this film, touted to be a cop drama. This is a massive opportunity for Raashii, as she has been going through a rough patch and has not had a single Telugu release since 2022. Raashii has a key role in the film and will also get to romance Pawan Kalyan, which is a huge opportunity. Raashii Khanna pins all hopes on Harish Shankar film Ustaad Bhagat Singh is a megacommercial project. Raashii, who previously starred in fun films like Hyper and Bengal Tiger (both available on JioHotstar via OTTplay Premium), grabbed the opportunity with both hands and joined the sets just two days after signing the dotted line. With offers hard to come by, Raashii had shifted her focus towards Tamil films like Thiruchitrambalam and Sangathamizhan, both of which can be streamed on OTTplay Premium. But this Pawan Kalyan biggie puts her back in the game, and there has been a positive buzz ever since her name was announced. Harish Shankar earlier delivered a blockbuster for Pawan Kalyan with Gabbar Singh and also gave a career boost to the likes of Shruti Haasan. Fans are also hopeful that Raashii will also make a strong comeback with this film. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers on a massive scale, Ustaad Bhagat Singh will have music composed by Devi Sri Prasad, known for his work in Pushpa and Julayi. Raashii will next be seen alongside Telugu actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda in Telusu Kada, directed by stylist Neeraja Kona.

Core strength helps me dance & sing without losing breath: Devi Sri Prasad
"The fitter you are, with core strength, the easier it becomes to control your breath while jumping, dancing, and singing. I don't eat before performances and make sure to stay active every day by walking, running, jumping, or skipping" For Devi Sri Prasad , the secret to his high-voltage stage performances lies as much in mental focus as in physical fitness. 'The fitter you are, with core strength, the easier it becomes to control your breath while jumping, dancing, and singing,' he explained. To keep his energy levels high and his creativity sharp, DSP follows a disciplined daily routine. 'I don't eat before performances. I exercise a lot. Anyone can follow this — just make sure to walk, run, jump, or skip every day. Engage in some form of physical activity,' he said. DSP has even designed his home to support his routine and multitasking habits. 'I've set up my home theatre with a treadmill and a reclining bed. As soon as I wake up in the morning, I get out of bed and get moving,' he shared. 'For instance, if a web series has ten episodes, I watch one episode a day for an hour. That way, I accomplish multiple things: I save time, complete my workout, and refresh my mind by focusing on something. ' Talking about his upcoming project Ustaad Bhagat Singh, he said, 'The songs will definitely be highly energetic, as expected from the combination of Harish Shankar and Pawan Kalyan garu. Harish Shankar garu showed me some scenes they shot, and they gave me goosebumps. People will go wild when they watch them.' On a lighter note, when asked about marriage, the composer responded with characteristic wit, saying the topic could challenge even the calmest of minds. 'I'm happy with how things are going. But this question is something that could make even someone like me, who is a stitapragnudu (an even-minded person, untouched by extremes), lose their balance,' he said with a laugh.
