Fauzi is an upcoming Telugu period war drama directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers with Bhushan Kumar (T-Series Films). Prabhas leads the film as a soldier of the Azad Hind Fauj, with debutant Imanvi Esmail as the female lead, Sajjad Delafrooz as the main antagonist and Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher and Jaya Prada in key roles. The makers announced a theatrical release for 3 December 2026, but the producers have since said the date is being pushed back slightly.
What the film is about
Fauzi is a period war drama set in the era of the Azad Hind Fauj, the Indian National Army, with Prabhas playing one of its soldiers. It marks his return to period drama after Baahubali. A World War II-era Japanese army camp was recreated at Ramoji Film City for the shoot, and Deepak Antani appears as Mahatma Gandhi. In November 2025 the makers decided to tell the story in two parts followed by a prequel.
