Prabhas is getting ready for another big movie, this time with Hanu Raghavapudi, who directed Sita Ramam. The much-anticipated movie, which is said to be called Fauji, has been getting a lot of attention for its huge scale and interesting setting. The movie takes place before independence and is said to be a patriotic period drama that mixes a lot of action with a lot of emotion.
The latest news from the industry says that Fauji wants to come out in theaters on the weekend of Independence Day in 2026, with the tentative date being Friday, August 14, 2026. The team hasn't made an official announcement yet, but the release date fits perfectly with the film's patriotic theme and setting.
Final Stages of Production
About 60% of the shooting for the big-budget period film is already done, and things are moving quickly. Sources say that Prabhas has finished most of his big scenes and only has 35 days of filming left before his schedule is over.
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.
