Hyderabad, March 5 – A day after announcing that they had brought music director Thaman on board alongside music director Devi Sri Prasad, the makers of director Harish Shankar's action entertainer 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh', starring actor Pawan Kalyan, announced on Thursday that the film would now be released on March 19, a week ahead of the previously announced date of March 26.
In a post on their social media accounts, production house Mythri Movie Makers wrote, "Our USTAAD arrives a week early to spark massive celebrations at the box office! #UstaadBhagatSingh GRAND RELEASE WORLDWIDE ON MARCH 19, 2026. #UBSOnMarch19th."
The news of the film's release date being advanced has delighted fans and film enthusiasts.
On Wednesday, the makers had announced that they were bringing ace music director Thaman on board to score the background music for the film.
The makers had said that they were doing this because music director Devi Sri Prasad, who is composing the music for the songs in the film, would not have enough time to also compose the film's background score. Therefore, the makers said that after mutual consent, they were bringing Thaman on board, and that the film would now have two music directors.
In a statement, which they shared through their social media accounts, well-known production house Mythri Movie Makers said, "Thank you for the blockbuster response to #Dekhlengesaala and #Auraofustaad from 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh'. Your love for the music has been incredible."
The production house went on to say, "We believe that the upcoming song will also rock your hearts. Rockstar DSP and director Harish Shankar have once again delivered songs that fans are celebrating everywhere."
Mythri then made the big announcement. The production house said, "Now, due to our delay in finalizing and sending the background score reels to DSP, we are unable to meet his timeline for this film. Due to his prior commitments, DSP is unable to accommodate this in his schedule despite making every effort to do so. We respect his decision, and under mutual consent, we are bringing Thaman on board for the background score. DSP's songs will make you dance, while Thaman will handle the background score."
The makers went on to clarify that this decision had been made with the film's timelines and overall vision in mind, and that this would ensure smooth progress without any delays.
"This move comes after mutual discussions and has been taken in the best interest of the film. This is a powerful musical combination. Two accomplished musicians with one vision of making 'Ustaad Bhagat Singh' a grand celebration and a memorable experience for fans. Get ready for a truly memorable experience in theaters!"
