Sardaar Gabbar Singh is a 2016 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film co-written and directed by K. S. Ravindra, based on an original story by Pawan Kalyan. A sequel to Gabbar Singh (2012), it stars Pawan Kalyan reprising his role from the previous film alongside Kajal Aggarwal and Sharad Kelkar (his Telugu film debut). In the film, brave policeman Gabbar Singh (Kalyan) rescues the residents of Rathanpur when they are forced to face the wrath of Bhairav Singh (Kelkar), who unceremoniously usurps their land.[3]
Initially titled Gabbar Singh 2, the film began production on 21 February 2014 in Hyderabad with Sampath Nandi as the film. He later walked out of the film and was replaced by Ravindra. Principal photography began in May 2015 at Maharashtra. The film was renamed Sardaar Gabbar Singh in mid-2015. Filming took place extensively in Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Gujarat and Kerala before concluding in March 2016. Devi Sri Prasad composed the film's music, while Arthur A. Wilson and Gautham Raju served as the cinematographer and editor, respectively.
Sardaar Gabbar Singh was released worldwide on 8 April 2016, along with a Hindi dubbed version, on a screen count of 3,200 thus becoming the second biggest Telugu film release after Baahubali: The Beginning (2015).[4] It received mixed reviews from critics.[2]
