Pawanism: Raashii’s Instant ‘Yes’
High expectations surround the film Ustaad Bhagat Singh, which reunites Power Star Pawan Kalyan and director Harish Shankar, the successful duo behind Gabbar Singh. Raashii Khanna stars as one of the female leads, alongside Sreeleela, and her recent interactions with the media have generated significant buzz, with her comments about Pawan Kalyan going viral and thrilling fans. Raashii Khanna revealed that she agreed to the film without even hearing the story, simply because it was a Pawan Kalyan movie. She explained, “As soon as I heard it was a Pawan Kalyan sir film, I said yes without even listening to the story. Ever since my first film, I’ve heard about Pawan Kalyan sir’s stardom and Pawanism. Even back then, I wished to do at least one film with him. Now, I’ve done Ustaad Bhagat Singh.”
In the film, she portrays a very modern girl and will also feature in a mass song. Although she didn’t hear the story initially, Harish Shankar narrated it later, and Raashii believes the film, much like Gabbar Singh, will be highly entertaining and a family film that everyone can watch together in theatres.
Speaking about Pawan Kalyan, Raashii described him as “a very simple person. He is always seen reading books. There’s an unknown innocence about him. Despite being busy with politics, he dedicated time to complete the film. He speaks very little, but every word he says holds value. He told me to engage in public service. He always thinks about the people. I learned humanity from him.” She recounted witnessing the immense devotion of his fans at an event, remarking, “seeing Pawan’s fans from the stage, it looked like they were worshipping him like a god.”
Team UBS: Dedication and Vision
Raashii also noted that director Harish Shankar had forewarned her about Pawan Kalyan’s potentially unpredictable schedules, to which she readily agreed to adjust her own, even working 24-hour shifts when necessary. Her praise extended to director Harish Shankar, whom she called “very smart.” She added, “He understands the pulse of the masses perfectly. He completed the shooting of a large-scale film, which would typically take 120 days, in just 40 days. He worked incredibly hard for the film, often without proper sleep. During the shoot, he would write punch dialogues right there on the set. Harish sir has immense patience.”
Raashii also lauded the producers, Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar Yalamanchili, under the Mythri Movie Makers banner. “They are producers who pour their heart and soul into a film. They don’t compromise on the budget and gave complete freedom to the director. I’ve already asked them for another opportunity to work under their banner.”
Currently, Raashii Khanna is also engaged in one Hindi film, two web series, and one Tamil film. Her insights into Ustaad Bhagat Singh have undoubtedly heightened anticipation for the movie, further solidifying the excitement surrounding this much-awaited project.
Looking Ahead
Raashii’s insightful, now viral, comments on Power Star’s Ustaad Bhagat Singh have undeniably heightened its anticipation. Balancing a busy slate, these remarks solidify her growing influence. Expect her to continue making a significant impact, much like the eagerly awaited film, poised to leave its indelible mark on the industry.
