Anupam Kher Confirmed for Fauzi
The makers of Fauzi officially announced that Anupam Kher will be part of the period action drama, sharing the news alongside a birthday wish for the veteran actor. The team wrote that it is an absolute honour to have him as part of the Fauzi battalion and wished him a happy and healthy year ahead.
That kind of warmth in a casting announcement says a lot about the energy around this project. Anupam Kher brings decades of screen gravitas — pairing him with Prabhas in a World War II-era period piece is the kind of combination that gets fans genuinely excited.
What Is Fauzi About?
Fauzi features Prabhas as a soldier of the Azad Hind Force and presents an alternative, fictionalized retelling of historical events. Think large-scale war sequences, patriotism, sacrifice — all wrapped in the cinematic spectacle that director Hanu Raghavapudi (known for the emotion-driven Ninnu Kori and Keerthy Suresh-starrer Sita) brings to his films.
With Mithun Chakraborty and Jaya Prada also on board, the film’s veteran ensemble is shaping up to be one of the strongest in recent Telugu cinema history.
Why the Release Date Shifted — and What’s Next for Prabhas
While the makers had initially planned an Independence Day release, the final release date is now expected to be Dussehra or November 2026, depending on the completion of shoot.
Beyond Fauzi, Prabhas will headline the cop action drama Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, with Triptii Dimri as the co-lead and Vivek Oberoi as the antagonist — slated for release on March 5, 2027.
