Prabhas is currently busy with the shoot of The Raja Saab. Apart from this, he has many films also lined up in his kitty. Well, recently, the makers of his upcoming action drama Fauji have officially confirmed that the film is set to release in August 2026. The announcement was made during the promotions of Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude.
123 Telugu reported that during promotions of Pradeep Ranganathan’s Dude, the makers officially revealed that they are targeting an August 2026 release for Fauji. The film is backed by Mythri Movie Makers.
Abhishek Bachchan Joins Prabha’s Fauji?
According to 123 Telugu, Abhishek Bachchan is likely to share screen space with Prabhas in Fauji. Reports suggest that director Hanu Raghavapudi has approached Abhishek Bachchan to play
a crucial role, and discussions are currently underway. If things fall into place, this will mark Abhishek’s debut into Telugu cinema.
Prabhas’s Look From Fauji Sets Leaked Online
In August, a picture of the actor from the shooting location has leaked. The leaked photo raised major concerns for the film’s makers. They issued a strict warning and also mentioned that legal actions will be taken against offenders. Taking to their X handle, Mythri Movie Makers wrote, “We’ve observed that a lot of you are sharing a picture from the sets of #PrabhasHanu. We are striving to give you the best experience, and these leaks bring the morale of the team down. Any account sharing such pictures will not only be reported and brought down but will be treated as a cyber crime and dealt with appropriately.” The action came after Prabhas’s look went viral on social media.
Fauji:
In November last year, a bunch of photos from the sets of Fauji went viral online. The pictures – featuring vintage cars, old-school buses, and an overall retro vibe – made their way across social media. Adding to the intrigue were rumours that the shoot was taking place at Hyderabad’s Alipore Jail, the same spot where Subhash Chandra Bose was imprisoned back in the 1930s. Fauji is one of the most interesting projects on Prabhas’ slate. Word on the street is that the film is a grand war-time romantic drama set during World War 2. Think epic scale, vintage aesthetics and emotions packed into a soldier’s journey.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, this period actioner will see Prabhas stepping into the boots of a soldier. Fauji’s crew is nothing less than spectacular – Vishal Chandrashekhar is doing the music, Sudeep Chatterjee is handling cinematography and editing is in the hands of Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao. With a reported budget of ₹400 crore, the movie is going to be one for the books.
