Netizens troll Pawan Kalyan after Ustaad Bhagat Singh trailer. Pawan Kalyan's Ustaad Bhagat Singh directed by Harish Shankar is releasing on 19 March 2026. The makers released the film's trailer yesterday and the fans of Pawan Kalyan are over the moon with the powerful portrayal of Pawan Kalyan as a tough police officer.
Even Chiranjeevi, brother of Pawan Kalyan showered praises on the trailer and wished the makers all the best. But netizens trolled Pawan Kalyan for the following similarities.
In the UBS trailer, Pawan&rsquo;s character holds a gun and delivers a punchline while dressed in a monochrome outfit with an intricate belt buckle. The internet couldn&rsquo;t help but get flashbacks to a scene in OG where he&rsquo;s dressed almost the same, holding a gun, and firing it in frustration.
Sharing pictures from both scenes, one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, &ldquo;Edi OG , Edi UBS ra (Is this OG or UBS?).&rdquo; One even posted a clip from both UBS and OG with Pawan firing a gun in the costume, writing, &ldquo;Which one is OG and which one is UBS ? #JustAsking,&rdquo; in response to an X user joking, &ldquo;same same but different.&rdquo;
&ldquo;For a moment, I thought Harish Shankar reused some shots from OG,&rdquo; wrote an X user, posting pictures of both scenes, while another slammed the makers, writing, &ldquo;Edi UBS Edi OG raa..Monna #Rajasaab ippudu #UBS Mareee prekshakulni granted ga teeskuntunnaru&hellip;(Which one is USB and which one is OG? First, the Raja Saab, now USB, you are taking the audience for granted).&rdquo;
Numerous others commented about the repeat of the costume, taking style and acting in the scene, writing posts like, &ldquo;Orayya sudden ga chusi OG anukunna kada ra #UstaadBhagatSingh (I saw this suddenly and thought it was OG #UstaadBhagatSingh).&rdquo; One X user even joked, &ldquo;Og Editing lo miss ayina shots teesukocchi UBS lo pettadu harish anna (Harish brother used shots in USB that were cut in OG editing).

Rahi Anil Barve, Acclaimed director of the 2018 cult horror film Tumbbad, has created a new experimental psychological folk-horror film, Mann Pishach, using artificial intelligence, Photoshop, and basic digital tools. The 80-minute film will release directly on YouTube on March 18.\r\nThe film tells the story of Sadashiv Rao, a lonely junior officer investigating a strange stone dome in a remote village. As he delves deeper, he uncovers a disturbing truth hidden beneath the hill and within the villagers themselves. The story explores themes of suppressing feelings, human cruelty, and the darkness that results from ignoring the hidden shadows in the human mind.\r\nBarve created Mann Pishach on a zero-budget of â‚¹33,000, using a home computer, iPhone recordings, and two actors, Yaaneea Bhardwaj and Deepak Damle. The project took nearly four months to complete, with AI tools aiding in the process. Barve emphasizes that technology alone cannot make a film, and AI is only a tool that becomes meaningful with proper writing, planning, and human performance.\r\nThe screenplay, written by Zaai Gulmohar, focuses on visuals, silence, and voice narration, rather than heavy dialogues. Every shot was sketched on paper to maintain visual continuity and manage AI limitations. Barve\'s experiment aims to inspire struggling artists to create something from nothing, using imagination, basic tools, and, of course, stubborn passion. Mann Pishach premieres on YouTube on March 18, showcasing Barve\'s innovative approach to filmmaking.\r\n<div></div>

\r\nSinger Chinmayi Sripaada has criticised actor Kamal Haasan for congratulating poet-lyricist Vairamuthu on winning the Jnanpith Award, India\'s most prestigious literary honour. Chinmayi, who accused Vairamuthu of molestation in 2018, took to social media to express her disappointment, saying men in power will always stand by their own, regardless of the trauma caused to women.\r\n&nbsp;\r\nKamal Haasan had praised Vairamuthu, calling him a friend and expressing pride in his achievement. However, Chinmayi pointed out that Vairamuthu has been accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, including members of the DMK party. She questioned the decision to confer the award on someone with such allegations, saying it\'s a slap in the face for women who have spoken out against him.\r\nChinmayi also highlighted how Vairamuthu had to turn down the ONV Literary Award in 2021 due to backlash over the allegations. She claimed she was banned from singing and dubbing in Tamil cinema for speaking out against Vairamuthu, and many other women had to pay a heavy price for sharing their stories.\r\nThe controversy has sparked a heated debate, with many calling out the decision to honour Vairamuthu despite the allegations.\r\n

Megastar Chiranjeevi\'s upcoming project, Mega 158, has hit a roadblock due to budget constraints. The film, directed by K. S. Ravindra (Bobby), initially had A.R. Rahman on board as the music composer. However, Rahman\'s exit has been confirmed, and S Thaman is expected to take over the music department.\r\nThe decision to replace Rahman is reportedly due to budget revisions, as the production house, KVN Productions, faces financial pressure. The film\'s production was initially slated to begin in December or January, targeting a Sankranti 2027 release. However, the project has been delayed, with the new start date expected to be around mid-April, pushing the release to Summer 2027.\r\nThe Chiranjeevi-Bobby combination has generated significant buzz, thanks to their previous collaboration, Waltair Veerayya. Despite the changes, Mega 158 is expected to be one of the most anticipated Telugu films of 2027. The team is exploring alternative choices for cast and crew, with reports suggesting that Mohanlal\'s cameo role has been dropped due to his high remuneration demand of â‚¹30 crore.\r\nThe film\'s genre is reportedly a gangster action drama, set in Kolkata, and will explore themes of family emotions. With the production delays, fans will have to wait longer to see Chiranjeevi and Bobby\'s next project hit the big screens.
