Sardaar Gabbar Singh is a 2016 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film co-written and directed by Bobby Kolli, (credited as K. S. Ravindra) based on an original story by Pawan Kalyan. 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.
Sardaar Gabbar Singh is not a remake or sequel — it’s an original script written by Pawan Kalyan as a spiritual successor to Gabbar Singh (2012), which was a remake of Dabangg.
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.
