Disha Patani is the new talk of the town as per the reports, she has been cast in Prabhas’s Fauji, directed by Sita Ramam fame director Hanu Raghavapudi. According to the rumours, she has been cast as the second heroine of this period romance. The female lead is Imanvi Esmail, marking her debut in Telugu films.

The truth behind this news

Disha Patani is not part of Fauji and all that you read online are just baseless rumours on social media. She was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD, but her presence in this film was barely remembered by the audience. As per our exclusive source, we have learnt that the headlines have come out of nowhere.

“It is all a rumour and we have not approached Disha Patani. Casting for the female lead is done and the news about having a second leading lady is fake,” said the production head. Speaking at a recent press meet, producer Ravi Yerneni said, “The film is progressing at a brisk pace and has come out very well. It is a period drama film that has some beautiful elements of love and romance. We are sure it is going to be a blockbuster hit.”

The actor who has been cast from Bollywood for Fauji is the veteran actor Anupam Kher, and the remaining cast includes actors like Jaya Prada and Mithun Chakraborty in the cast.

Fauji's shoot is going on in full swing, and the speculations of actors being cast are generating more excitement amongst the audience.

This film will surely be yet another spectacle in Prabhas’ illustrious career. Recently, he was in the news for being injured while shooting this film. Hanu Raghavapudi is known for a visually stunning cinematic experience, as the army backdrop is his forte; this might be a blockbuster film.

Fauji is a period war drama set in the 1970s, following a soldier's journey through war and personal relationships, with themes of bravery, love, and sacrifice.
