The movie was shot on lavish sets that look like the landscape from the colonial era. The filmmakers paid special attention to making sure the history was accurate and the visuals were grand. Hanu Raghavapudi, who is known for his storytelling skills in Sita Ramam, is said to be making Fauji into an emotionally charged show.

A Great Cast Joins Prabhas

Imanvi plays the female lead opposite Prabhas in Fauji, which is her first acting role. The film has Bollywood stars Mithun Chakraborty, Jayaprada, and Anupam Kher in important roles.

According to reports, Disha Patani, who was in Kalki 2898 AD with Prabhas, is also in talks for an important part in the movie. If this is true, it will be her second time working with the pan-India star.

Vishal Chandrashekhar will write the music for the movie. He also wrote the music for Sita Ramam, which was very moving. People have high hopes for Fauji's album because he has done well with period soundtracks.

Before Fauji comes out in theaters, Prabhas will be in Maruthi's horror movie The Raja Saab, which is set to come out on Sankranthi 2026. He will soon start filming Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit. After that, he will work on sequels to Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar, as well as a project with Prasanth Varma.

Fauji is shaping up to be one of his biggest projects yet, and fans can't wait to see Prabhas play a period role that celebrates heroism, sacrifice, and patriotism on the biggest scale possible.
