Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the upcoming period action drama has generated excitement among fans, with its makers confirming a theatrical release date of March 19, 2027.
The teaser was unveiled on October 23, 2026, on the occasion of Prabhas’ 47th birthday. It introduces a story set against the backdrop of India’s freedom struggle, combining historical references, espionage and action.
Prabhas Takes on a Rebel Role
In Fauzi, Prabhas appears as a soldier and fictional rebel who challenges British forces during the pre-Independence era. The teaser features intense action sequences and presents his character as a determined fighter prepared to risk everything for the country’s freedom.
Teaser References Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
One of the teaser’s notable sequences depicts a meeting between Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Adolf Hitler in Berlin in 1942. The scene establishes the historical backdrop of the film before shifting focus to Prabhas’ character.

Fans React to Prabhas’ New Look
The teaser has sparked discussions among fans, many of whom have welcomed Prabhas’ rugged appearance and return to a period-action setting. His portrayal of a rebellious soldier has drawn comparisons with the larger-than-life characters he has played in earlier films.
