Director Hanu Raghavapudi, who is currently busy filming Fauzi with Prabhas has confirmed that the film will be made in two parts. Fauzi, the historical drama with Prabhas has already garnered much excitement since it was announced.

The first look of the film was released on Prabhas' 46th birthday recently on October 23.

Hanu Raghavapudi, the director, recently said during an interaction that the story will be told in two parts.  The second part will be a prequel that will give us a different side of the main character's existence. Raghavapudi talked about how the movie looks and how the production is making the world around Prabhas' army bigger on purpose. This movie is about one part of the hero's journey.

The proposed prequel will look at a different emotional and ideological side of his existence in the past. The filmmaker added that he is still intrigued in stories from India's colonial past, even though they don't typically end nicely.

He went on to say that many of these stories might be heroic in a different universe. Raghavapudi wants to make Fauzi's story more real by incorporating his own feelings and experiences.

A Different Tone for the Prequel

A Different Sound for the Prequel The prequel doesn't just repeat the same narrative again; it changes the tone and point of view to show the guy behind the uniform in a better light. Raghavapudi says that watching both movies at the same time would help people understand Fauzi's world and the main character, who is very complicated.

The director also said that he wanted to show Indian freedom fighters and revolutionaries as heroes instead of victims. He noted that movies often show their shortcomings instead of their power, confidence, and idealism.

Fauzi is a historical drama about India's fight for freedom that makes people proud. Prabhas plays a soldier in the Azad Hind Force in a made-up fiction that mixes genuine history with great, dramatic occurrences. The primary female character in the movie will be played by Imanvi.

Mithun Chakraborty, Jaya Prada, and Anupam Kher will also be featured in the film in crucial roles. Fauzi will come out on August 14, 2026, which is the greatest day of the Independence Day weekend. If you want, I can also make other variations of the headlines, Instagram captions, or a shorter version that may be published right away.
