His stepfather is always partial towards his half-brother which constantly angers Venkataratnam. He starts to not care about what other people think about him and renames himself after the fictional character "Gabbar Singh".[lower-alpha 1] His anger towards his brother and father grows and he runs away from home. His stepfather, Naidu catches him and admits him in a boarding school away from Kondaveedu.

21 years later, a scene shows a gang of robbers trying to steal money from a bank in Kondaveedu, when Gabbar Singh, now a cop, tries to recover the money by beating up the robbers. It is revealed that Gabbar Singh is now posted as the C.I. (Circle Inspector) for the Kondaveedu region. His anger towards his brother and step father remains the same and lives separately from them. He wants to live with his mother in his new house, but she instead wants him to stay with her and Naidu. Ajay is a gambling addict and has loans all over the village. Gabbar Singh falls in love with a handicraft vendor named Bhagya Lakshmi, whom he chances upon during a police raid that he conducts against gambling.

It is later revealed that the robbers who tried to steal are actually the henchmen of an upcoming politician goon named Siddhappa Naidu . He with the help of his uncle wants to become the MLA of Kondaveedu, in the upcoming by-election. He wants to be nominated from the ruling party. He meets Gabbar Singh and tries to appreciate him for catching the robbers. Gabbar Singh flatly refuses and tells Siddhappa that he actually knows who he is and tells him to behave himself.

Angered by Gabbar Singh's response, Siddhappa Naidu sends goons to disrupt the market yard in Kondaveedu. Gabbar Singh confronts the goons and defeats them with ease to reopen the market yard. Even more enraged, Siddhappa now plans to kill Gabbar Singh but his uncle instead advises him to speak with the Home Minister about transferring Gabbar Singh out of Kondaveedu. Siddhappa and his uncle meet the minister, who simply denies their request. He also advises Siddhappa to make peace with Gabbar Singh or it would hurt his political aspirations.

Meanwhile, Gabbar Singh meets Bhagya Lakshmi and proposes marriage. She rejects it saying that she has to look after her ailing father, who is an alcoholic and she cannot marry while he is alive. Gabbar Singh then comes home to find his mother dead. He goes to his stepfather to make peace, as he is the only family left. His stepfather rejects and despises him as an outcast. Gabbar Singh is then attacked at the handicraft exhibition by Siddhappa's men, when he is with Bhagya Lakshmi; he kills all of them in a fight. He confronts Siddhappa and warns him to stop bothering him and tells him that he will never allow Siddhappa to become a MLA.

Provoked by Siddhappa's men, Gabbar Singh's brother hits one of his creditors brutally and injuring him. Siddhappa calls the police station to warn them about the fight. Gabbar Singh beats up his brother in public, thus disgracing him. Siddhappa decides to take advantage of the situation and suspend Gabbar Singh. But Naidu resolves the situation by accepting an apology from Gabbar Singh. Angered by the outcome, Siddhappa tells Gabbar Singh that something big will happen in the next 24 hours and tells him to stop it if he can. Gabbar Singh interrogates the henchmen of Siddhappa and finds out that Siddhappa arranged the marriage of Bhagya lakshmi with a local merchant by paying her father a lot of money to enrage Gabbar Singh. Gabbar Singh goes to the wedding and confronts Bhagya Lakshmi whether she loves him or not. Bhagya Lakshmi reveals her love and Gabbar rescues and marries her in the same event.

Cast

Production

Development

In 2011, Pawan expressed interest in remaking the Hindi film Dabangg to Telugu as he was impressed with the film.[14] Arbaaz Khan sold the remake rights to Pawan. It was originally announced that Pawan would produce the film under his newly formed production banner "Pawan Kalyan Creative Works"; however, it was announced as Bandla Ganesh will produce the film under his banner Parameswara Cine Creations.[15][16] Pawan approached Harish to direct the Telugu remake of Dabangg.[17] Harish Shankar revealed he was supposed to direct Mirapakaay (originally titled "Romantic Rishi") with Pawan Kalyan which was dropped due to various reasons.[14] Pawan Kalyan reportedly told the director to take the basic theme of the film and change all the scenes to suit the Telugu nativity.[18] Harish wrote a fresh screenplay of "Dabangg" with new situations different from the original.[19] Pawan who read the script was satisfied with the screenplay and called it "so fresh ... apt for Telugu sensibilities".[20] Harish said that it was Pawan who suggested to name the film as Gabbar Singh with the tagline "He is Special".[21]

Casting
Sonu Sood (left) was originally slated to reprise his character, but he was replaced by Abhimanyu Singh (right).

Sonu Sood was approached to reprise his character from the Hindi version, which he rejected, stating that he did not want to repeat it again. Abhimanyu Singh was recruited to play the character.[22] Harish revealed that he "loved Abhimanyu Singh’s eyes in Rakta Charitra film. I thought he would match the hero in the role of Siddappa Naidu".[20] Tanikella Bharani was selected to play Om Puri's character. Harish said that he increased the length of Om Puri character played by Tanikella Bharani in Telugu so that he would support the villain with dialogue part.[20] Srikanth and Sushanth were originally considered to reprise Arbaaz Khan's character but eventually was replaced by Ajay.[23][24] It was rumoured that either Krishnam Raju or Nandamuri Harikrishna would don the father's character but Nagineedu was selected to play the character.[25] Harish Shankar signed Shruti Haasan as the film's actress. Shruti had signed the film in November 2011 replacing Ileana D'Cruz who had opted out, and played the role of Bhagyalakshmi, a village girl, which had been played by Sonakshi Sinha in the original version.[26][27] Nathalia Kaur,[28] Parvati Melton[29] and Anushka Shetty were originally considered to perform the item number.[30] Malaika Arora Khan was finally selected to perform item number for which she was reported to be paid ₹1 crore (US$140,000); however, Ganesh denied that Malaika was paid 1 cr and also refused to divulge details about her remuneration.[31][32] Kota Srinivasa Rao, Rao Ramesh and Jaya Prakash Reddy were selected to portray supporting roles.

Character looks

Pawan Kalyan wears a cargo shirt (with the buttons taken off) fitted with police logos. He ties a red towel around his head before fighting. He also wears dark shades and hooded shirts.[33] Shruthi Haasan wears half sarees in the first half of movie while she sticks to sarees in the second half. She uses bluish shades for the costumes. She uses crape and chiffon sarees in songs and in the second half with pattern blouses.[33] Abhimanyu wears linen fabric pattern Kurtis with bordered patti on collar and cuffs which brings in the look of a local politician. He appears in both dark and lighter shades. His accessories, a lot of gold ornaments, rudrakshas, etc., show the nativity of a village's political villain.[33]

Filming

The filming began on 2 October 2011.[34] All the scenes especially related to police station were shot in Pollachi.[20] The shooting was started without Pawan Kalyan as he needed to grow his beard again after shaving it off for a song shoot of Panjaa. Pawan Kalyan entered the sets of Gabbar Singh on the afternoon of 4 December 2011. The first dialogue of him was okayed in first take. The song "Akasam ammai aithe’ was completed planned at green fields of Pollachi but the team had to do a part of the song in Hyderabad due to bad weather in Pollachi. Climax sequence was shot on the Hyd – Vijayawada national highway.[35] The song "Dekho Dekho Gabbar Singh" was shot for four days at Gujarat and one day at ICRISAT.[20] The interval fight scene was shot at Gayathri Hills in January 2012.[36] The team then shot scenes at the house set at Kokapet which was built for the film Maryada Ramanna (2010) in March 2012.[37]

Themes and influences

The film was a remake of Dabangg (2010). Several new scenes were included in the Telugu version like the "Antakshari" and "Kabaddi" sequences. Harish said: "After watching Dabangg, I analysed why it became a hit. It is a multi-layered film with rustic backdrop. It has Vishal Bharadwaj and Anurag Kashyap type of treatment to it. It’s a completely different genre film for Salman Khan. Hero has grey shades to him. [..] The script has a typical 70s type of Manmohan Desai's commercial formula".[20]

Few dialogues written for and uttered by Pawan Kalyan's character in the film. Dialogues like "Naku konchem thikka undi, kani daniko lekka undi" (I am crazy, but my craziness has a calculation)[lower-alpha 2][38] epitomises the nature of the characterisation of cop roles in Telugu cinema. Director Harish Shankar defended by quoting, "Fans like to see their favourite stars doing incredible things. I just tried to tweak Pawan's character for a better audience connect. The last dialogue of Pawan in the film "Police ane vaadu...Janam lo bhayam pogottevaadu avvali, kaani jananni bhayapette vaadu kaadu" (Police are there to prevent fear among people, but people should not be feared of us)[lower-alpha 2] sums up our film. I respect police officers and have made sure that we do not offend them in anyway".[39] The lyrics of the song Kevvu Keka draw heavily from folk literature (Jana Padams), this art form was developed by uneducated farmers who wrote those songs to entertain themselves while working in the fields.[40]

Don't expect anything out of the box. What comes as a saver is an engaging screenplay, witty dialogues and performances from the actors".[65] Karthik Pasupulate of Times of India rated the film 4 out of 5 stars stating that: "The movie sets a new benchmark as far as "paisa vasool" goes."[66] Indiaglitz wrote:"All in all, GS is a treat to Pawan's fans, but it has not been made for the first week audience alone.

Legacy

The success of the film made Shruti Haasan one of the most sought-after actresses in Telugu cinema.[84] The film catapulted Pawan again into beckoning after his continuous failures Puli (2010), Theenmaar (2011) and Panjaa (2011).[85] Nisha Kothari starrer Bullet Rani is said to be inspired by Gabbar Singh. Suresh Goswami, director of the film clarified that "I don't mind if my film is called the female version of Gabbar Singh, but it's definitely not a spoof. In fact, Nisha's role is inspired by Pawan's tough cop act in his film".[86] Teaser of Aagadu (2014) was also said to be inspired by that film.[87]

The films Kevvu Keka (2012), Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyinde (2013) and Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham (2014) were named after the songs from the film.[88][89] The song "Kevvu Keka" was parodied in Atharintiki Daaredi (2013). In Naayak (2013), Nayak (Ram Charan) and Nandini (Amala Paul) are seen watching the Bengali dub of Gabbar Singh in a theatre.[90] The "Antakshari" sequence was parodied in Shadow (2013), featuring "Kevvu Keka".[91] In Race Gurram (2014), Lucky (Allu Arjun) and Spandana (Shruti Haasan) are watching Gabbar Singh at a cafe.

Sequel

Pawan Kalyan announced his intention to star in Gabbar Singh 2, which he would begin working on after his film Atharintiki Daaredi released in October 2013.[92] However, the film was postponed due to the political entry of Pawan Kalyan and was set to go on floors in December 2014. The film will not be a prequel or sequel to the original Gabbar Singh, but a stand-alone film within the Gabbar Singh franchise and the film was scripted by Kalyan himself.[93] Sampath Nandi has been named as the film's director, with Devi Sri Prasad set to compose the film's music.[94] Later, K. S. Ravindra (Bobby) of Power fame was announced as the director.[95] Anisha Ambrose was announced as the lead female role; however, she was replaced by Kajal Agarwal. The regular shooting for Gabbar Singh 2 commenced on 29 May 2015 at Malshej Ghats in Maharashtra.[96] The film (later titled Sardaar Gabbar Singh) was released in April 2016.[97]
