Second time

Cop avatar

In this Telugu remake of Vijay’s hit Theri, he plays a massy yet sincere officer

A new test

Ustaad Bhagat Singh is a test for Harish Shankar, given Theri is already a widely watched film

Fresh pairing

The star is paired opposite Sreeleela in the much-awaited film which will release in 2024

Excitement aplenty

There’s abundant joy among fans whenever they get to see Pawan Kalyan as a cop

Mixed bag

Pawan Kalyan has played a cop in four films, two of them, Gabbar Singh, Bheemla Nayak were hits

Lucky with remakes?

Interestingly, both hits Gabbar Singh, Bheemla Nayak are well-adapted, localised remakes

Effective medium

The cop roles give Pawan Kalyan the license to equally entertain and preach
