Pawan Kalyan\'s upcoming film Ustaad Bhagat Singh, directed by Harish Shankar, is set to hit screens on March 19, 2026. The film features Sreeleela and Raashii Khanna as the female leads, and S. Thaman has composed the background score, replacing Devi Sri Prasad [1][2][3].\r\nThe film\'s release date was advanced by a week to avoid a clash with Yash\'s Toxic, which was postponed. Despite being a big project, the buzz surrounding Ustaad Bhagat Singh has been relatively low, prompting the makers to keep the film in the news with recent updates.\r\nOne major update is that there will be no premiere shows in the Telugu states, as the makers\' request for ticket price hikes and premiere shows was rejected by the Governments of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The first shows will start at 7 AM on release day across both states. Whereas Dhurandhar The Revenge will have its Premiers on March 18 evening across major centers.&nbsp;\r\nUstaad Bhagat Singh marks the second collaboration between Harish Shankar and Pawan Kalyan, following the blockbuster Gabbar Singh. The film is backed by the makers of Pushpa: The Rise, and Harish Shankar has clarified that it\'s not a remake of Theri, but an original story. With promotions expected to begin soon, fans are eagerly waiting to see if the film will build stronger momentum ahead of its release.&nbsp;

The single theatres management got a huge shock when Telangana High Court banned the parking fees.\r\nNow, The Single Theatres are planning to approach the High Court against the ruling. Vijayender Reddy, president of the Telangana Controllers and Exhibitors Association said &ldquo;We will be requesting the honourable court to vacate the stay,&rdquo; He added &ldquo;We usually charge between Rs 20 and Rs 30 for bikes and cars. We also take care of the belongings of moviegoers by posting two security personnel to monitor hundreds of parked bikes and cars,&rdquo;\r\nHe revealed &ldquo;We also pay salaries of up to Rs 40,000 to security staff. Sometimes, if vehicle owners claim that their mirrors were damaged or that their vehicles got minor scratches, we compensate them because moviegoers are our breadwinners. We do not make big money from parking fees,&rdquo;\r\nAn exhibitor says &ldquo;In certain places, if you park for more than half an hour, you are charged. They may allow you to leave without paying only if they see you carrying food or snack packets purchased there. Even airports and railway stations charge parking fees ranging from Rs 500 to Rs 1,500, even though passengers use their transport services. These charges are meant to safeguard the vehicles and ensure they remain secure,&rdquo;\r\nHe shared &ldquo;In theatres, we take care of vehicles for nearly three hours during each show. Charging a small fee for this service is not unreasonable,&rdquo;\r\n<div></div>
