Not just a ‘cut-paste’ remake
‘Mr. Bachchan’ is a remake of the Bollywood film ‘Raid’, starring Ajay Devgn, but it’s far from a scene-by-scene copy.Directed by Harish Shankar, the film brings a fresh Tollywood twist to the original storyline. In promotional interviews, Harish Shankar encouraged audiences to rewatch ‘Raid’ before heading to the theaters, not for comparison, but to appreciate the creative liberties taken in ‘Mr. Bachchan’.

Mass Maharaja returns in full form
Ravi Teja, fondly known as the Mass Maharaja of Telugu cinema, is back with his signature style. The trailer of ‘Mr. Bachchan’ hints at a power-packed performance, complete with Ravi Teja’s trademark dialogue delivery and magnetic screen presence. Fans can expect an exhilarating mix of action, drama, and charisma that Ravi Teja brings to his roles. With a strong script inspired by ‘Raid’, this film is set to showcase Ravi Teja at his best, reminding audiences why he remains one of Tollywood’s most beloved stars.
A refreshing love story
While ‘Raid’ was a serious and grounded drama, ‘Mr. Bachchan’ offers a refreshing twist with the inclusion of a heartwarming love story. Director Harish Shankar, during the promotion, revealed that he has reimagined the narrative by infusing it with commercial elements that Telugu audiences crave. Ravi Teja’s character, an honest income tax officer, is not only dedicated to his duty but also to the love of his life. This blend of action and romance adds an emotional layer to the film, making it a well-rounded entertainer.
4 songs that pack a punch
‘Mr. Bachchan’ may only feature four songs, but director Harish Shankar guarantees that these tracks will deliver the energy of ten fight sequences. Known for his knack for combining music with action, Harish Shankar ensures that each song serves as a high-octane experience, elevating the film’s overall appeal.
Harish Shankar’s proven track record
Director Harish Shankar is no stranger to delivering mass commercial hits. Best known for his blockbuster collaboration with Pawan Kalyan in ‘Gabbar Singh’ (2012), Harish Shankar’s directorial style is a blend of emotion and commercialism. His previous films, including ‘Ramayya Vastavayya’, ‘Duvvada Jagannadham’, ‘Mirapakai’, and ‘Shock’, have all been well-received at the box office. With Mr. Bachchan, Shankar aims to recreate the magic, bringing his signature blend of storytelling and entertainment to the forefront.
