Ustaad Bhagat Singh’s team released a new teaser with some political undertones. In it, Pawan Kalyan discusses the strength of a shattered glass, symbolizing his party’s election emblem. Kalyan disclosed that he delivered the dialogue at the request of Harish Shankar, and it was deliberately included.
Upon being informed about the use of the glass symbol in the teaser, AP’s Chief Electoral Officer, Shri Mukesh Kumar, responded, “I haven’t seen it, so I can’t comment. However, if the glass was emphasized for publicity, it would be considered a political advertisement.” He clarified that political advertisements are permissible but require prior authorization. Kumar stated that if the teaser qualifies as a political advertisement, notices would be issued to the team, urging them to seek pre-certification.
The timing of the teaser’s release is notable, given the proximity to the AP Assembly Elections, which are less than two months away. Ustaad Bhagat Singh is an official adaptation of the Tamil hit Theri.
