Harish Shankar's Pawan Kalyan-starrer Ustaad Bhagat Singh is set to hit screens on March 19, competing with Aditya Dhar's Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar: The Revenge in the Telugu states.
The Andhra Pradesh government has passed a GO allowing a benefit show instead of a premiere and ticket hikes for the first 10 days of release.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh gets benefit shows, with tickets priced at ₹500, and permission has been granted to hike single-screen tickets by ₹100 and multiplex tickets by ₹125.
Five shows can be run per day with the hiked ticket rates, following the producer Mythri Movie Makers' application to the state government for permissions.
Telangana is unlikely to allow ticket hikes, following a previous ruling that struck down a similar request for Pawan's previous release, They Call Him OG.
Ustaad Bhagat Singh is directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, starring Pawan, Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna, and others.
