Fauzi Postponement Confirmed by Producer; Says It Will Be Actor's Biggest After Baahubali
Producer Y Ravi Shankar said the period drama needs more time to finish visual effects and post-production, and no new release date has been set.
- Producer Ravi Shankar confirmed on Monday that the period drama Fauzi will not meet its December 3, 2026 release date. The film is now expected to arrive in 2027, though no specific premiere date has been finalized.
- Speaking at The Paradise pre-release event, Ravi Shankar indicated the team requires additional time to complete the film. Reports previously suggested pending visual effects and the complexities of recreating the British Raj setting necessitated the delay.
- Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the large-scale epic features Prabhas as a battle-hardened soldier. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, the production also stars Imanvi Esmail, Mithun Chakraborty, Jaya Prada, and Anupam Kher in key roles.
- Originally scheduled to compete against Naga Chaitanya's Vrushakarma and Dulquer Salmaan's Sri Sri on December 4, 2026, the shift alleviates a crowded December weekend. This impacts one of Prabhas' most awaited year-end releases.
- Prabhas continues to manage a demanding slate, with upcoming projects including Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, Kalki and Salaar 2. Scheduling these major releases remains a complex logistical challenge for the actor.
