More about Ustaad Bhagat Singh

Talking about Ustaad Bhagat Singh in an interview with a regional media publication, filmmaker Dasaradh revealed that the project is not a complete remake of Theri. Harish Shankar just took a basic line from the Thalapathy Vijay starrer and tweaked the story. Dasaradh said, “Harish Shankar tweaked Theri’s story to a maximum extent, and Ustaad Bhagat Singh will be in his trademark style completely.” The movie is currently being shot in various locations and is bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers.
