Deputy CM Role: Filming’s New Challenge
Pawan Kalyan’s Filming Woes: Harish Shankar Reveals Sensational Details The shooting of ‘Ustad Bhagat Singh’, a film starring Pawan Kalyan and directed by Harish Shankar, is currently underway. Director Harish Shankar recently shared the significant difficulties he has encountered while filming with Pawan Kalyan, whose current role as Deputy CM has dramatically altered the production environment.
Harish Shankar explained that filming with Pawan Kalyan was previously straightforward when he was just an actor; there were no impediments, and he could even directly enter Pawan Kalyan’s caravan to converse. However, with Pawan Kalyan now holding the position of Deputy CM, stringent security measures have been implemented, leading to considerable challenges during filming.
These security protocols include individuals being checked with metal detectors by protocol officers before they are permitted to meet Pawan Kalyan. Furthermore, a dog squad inspects the shooting premises every morning whenever Pawan Kalyan is present. Harish Shankar revealed that despite Pawan Kalyan’s personal request to his security to “give our people an excuse” (i.e., to relax rules for his team), security personnel remain uncompromising in ensuring his protection. His widely circulated comment, “You cannot even touch Pawan’s hand,” underscores the strictness; security immediately intervenes if anyone touches Pawan Kalyan’s hand while explaining a scene. The challenges also extend to fight sequences. Weapons used in these scenes undergo thorough inspection by security to verify whether they are real or dummies before filming can proceed.
Set Security: No Touching, No Exceptions
Harish Shankar acknowledged that such a high level of security is a direct consequence of Pawan Kalyan’s position as Deputy CM. Pawan Kalyan is currently balancing his duties as Deputy CM with his commitments to several films, preparing for their release. Following the success of ‘OG’, expectations are particularly high for ‘Ustad Bhagat Singh’.
Harish Shankar’s detailed remarks regarding the extreme security measures during filming are currently circulating widely on social media.
Looking Ahead
Harish Shankar’s viral remarks starkly expose the security tightrope Pawan Kalyan walks as Deputy CM. Balancing films with his demanding political role presents immense challenges. The industry and fans ponder: will political duties inevitably reshape, or even curtail, his cinematic future?
