A day after announcing they had brought music director Thaman on board the unit of the film in addition to music director Devi Sri Prasad, the makers of director Harish Shankar's action entertainer Ustaad Bhagat Singh, featuring actor Pawan Kalyan in the lead, on Thursday announced that the film will now release on March 19, a week ahead of the earlier announced date of March 26.
Taking to its social media handles to make the announcement, 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 19th MARCH, 2026. UBSOnMarch19th."
The news of the advancement of the film's release date has delighted Pawan Kalyan's fans and film buffs.
Initially, Yash-starrer Toxic A Fairytale for Grown-Ups was due to release on 19th March. However, on Wednesday, the makers announced they were postponing the release to 4 June, a delay of more than two months, due to the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict.
The makers said that the uncertainty in West Asia "has created a situation that impacts our goal to reach and connect with the widest possible audience."
On Wednesday, the makers had announced that they were bringing on board ace music director Thaman to score the background music of the film. The makers had said that they were doing this as music director Devi Sri Prasad, who is scoring the music for the songs in the film, would not have enough time to allocate for the film's background score as well. Therefore, the makers said that after mutual consent, they were bringing Thaman onboard and that the film would now have two music directors.
In a statement, production house Mythri Movie Makers said, "Due to our delay in finalising and sending reels for background score to DSP, we are unable to match his timeline that he dedicated to 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."
"This move comes after mutual discussions and has been taken in the best interest of the film. This is a powerful musical combination. Two stalwart musicians with one vision of making Ustaad Bhagat Singh a grand celebration and a lifetime memory for fans. Get ready for a truly memorable experience in theatres!"
