Last month, on the occasion of Prabhas' birthday on Oct. 23, he announced new big-scale movie titled Fauzi, from director Hanu Raghavapudi, and backed by Mythri Movie Makers, known for Allu Arjun's Pushpa movies and Ajith Kumar's Good, Bad, Ugly.
There were earlier hints of this project turning into a two-parter, with an alternate-reality scenario being considered. The news has been confirmed by the Sita Ramam director himself. In an official press release, the makers announced that Fauzi will be followed by a prequel.
In his statement, Raghavapudi said, "We're portraying one world of Prabhas in this movie, and the second installment will explore another dimension. There's abundant material from our colonial past stories that ended tragically but could've been fairy tales in another reality. l've also woven in a few real-life experiences that inspired me personally."
Fauzi is set in in the 1940s before India's independence and the Second World War. Prabhas is said to be playing a freedom fighter, "a battalion who walks alone," and "the bravest tale of a soldier from the hidden chapters of our history."
Imanvi Ismail, an Indian-American dancer and choreographer, has been cast as the female lead. Vishal Chandrasekhar is the music composer. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's frequent collaborator Sudeep Chatterjee is the director of photography.
Aside from Fauzi, Prabhas is also looking forward to his rom-com horror fantasy epic The RajaSaab, which is slated for release on 9 January 2026. Directed by Maruthi, the big-scale adventure, which has Prabhas in a dual role, also features Malavika Mohanan, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Niddhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar in lead roles.
