Election Commission to issue notices to Ustaad Bhagat Singh team?

The other day, Ustaad Bhagat Singh’s team released a new glimpse that had a few political punches. Pawan Kalyan talks about how powerful a broken glass (his party’s election symbol) is. Pawan Kalyan revealed that he mouthed that dialogue at Harish Shankar’s request. The actor also said that glass dialogue was purposefully included.

A reporter informed AP chief electoral officer Shri Mukesh Kumar about using the glass symbol in the glimpse. Mukesh Kumar said, “I have not seen it. So, I can’t comment on it. But if the glass was highlighted for publicity, it would be considered a political advertisement. Such political advertisements can be done. There is no ban on it. However, prior permission is a must for such ads. I have not seen the glimpse. If it is a political ad, we will issue notices to the team. They should apply for pre-certification.”

The timing of the glimpse also makes things interesting as there are less than two months left for the AP Assembly Elections. Ustaad Bhagat Singh is the official adaptation of the Tamil blockbuster Theri.
