Ustaad Bhagat Singh director Harish Shakar reacts to trolls

For the unversed, Ustaad Bhagat Singh faced major challenges at the box office due to the dominance of Ranveer Singh's spy thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Harish Shankar, during a fan interaction, shared that he welcomes feedback, but not trolling from random accounts. He said, "Trollers are more than free to troll anything, I take constructive criticism. Like, ‘the scene was not very well written’ or ‘it could have been written much better,’ ‘the first half was little slow’... I will take the constructive criticism."
