About Fauji
Fauji is being described as a historical fiction/alternate history narrative, set during the pre-Independence era of the 1940s. The story reportedly follows a soldier’s journey from obscurity to confronting deeply rooted injustices.
The film also boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Anupam Kher, Mithun Chakraborty, Jayapradha, and social media sensation Imanvi Ismail in the female lead role.
Backed by a staggering Rs 400-600 crore budget, Fauji is touted as one of the most ambitious Telugu films to date.
Director Hanu Raghavapudi is known for blending romance and period storytelling, and technical excellence is ensured by a top-tier crew. Given its grand scale and World War II-inspired setting, the film is being positioned as a pan-Indian spectacle.
Prabhas' Upcoming Lineup
Prabhas has an exciting slate of projects. He will be next seen in The Raja Saab- a horror-comedy directed by Maruthi, set for release on December 5, 2025. Apart from The Raja Saab and Fauji, the Baahubali star has Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, with Triptii Dimri as the lead lady.
Furthermore, he has Prashanth Neel's Salaar 2, a sequel to his blockbuster action drama, and Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD Part 2, continuing the futuristic saga.
