Harish Shankar is one of the finest writers and directors of Telugu cinema. His last film Mr Bachchan ended up as a disaster and he was targeted and trolled for his work. He was over confident on the film. Harish Shankar is back to work and he is working on the shooting schedules of Ustaad Bhagat Singh. He met Pawan Kalyan in Vijayawada recently and he got the needed boost. Pawan asked Harish Shankar to make a comeback with Ustaad Bhagat Singh and offered his moral support for Harish Shankar. The talented director got the needed boost at the right time and he is occupied with Ustaad Bhagat Singh
