Actor Prabhas is currently juggling multiple projects, one of which is his collaboration with director Hanu Raghavapudi. The filmmaker last delivered the sleeper hit Sita Ramam starring Dulquer Salmaan and is now working with Prabhas’ upcoming project.
Initially, the film was moving ahead at a brisk pace, but production came to a halt after Prabhas suffered an injury.
Even with the delay, the project has continued to grab attention. Recently, rumours have started circulating in Telugu film circles, suggesting that Prabhas’ upcoming movie, tentatively titled Fauji, is inspired by Shah Rukh Khan’s 2004 classic Veer-Zaara.
Prabhas’ Fauji NOT Inspired By Veer Zaara
In Veer-Zaara, SRK plays an army officer who is imprisoned in Pakistan while searching for his lost love, played by Preity Zinta. Fans speculated that Prabhas’ film would follow a similar storyline, revolving around the themes of love lost over time.
However, these reports were quickly dismissed by sources close to the film. “Apart from Prabhas playing an army officer, the rest of the rumours are entirely false,” a team member confirmed to OTT Play.
According to Insiders, Fauji is an original story written by Hanu Raghavapudi. The film is described as a period drama with strong elements of romance and action at its core. “Tentatively titled Fauji, Hanu Raghavapudi has penned an original story,” the source added.
Prabhas fans have been eagerly awaiting his return to romantic roles, especially since his last film Radhe Shyam failed to make an impact at the box office. Since then, he has focused on action-heavy films, which cater more to his fanbase. However, Fauji promises to mix romance with action, marking a shift in his usual genre.
Actor’s Work Front
Apart from Fauji, Prabhas has other exciting projects lined up. He is also working on The Raja Saab with director Maruthi Dasari and Spirit under Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s direction. Moreover, Prabhas is gearing up to start filming Kalki 2898 AD – Part 2, which is another big-budget film that has fans buzzing.
As for Fauji, the production is taking place at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, with additional shoots planned in Kolkata. The film’s setting is pre-independence India, and it will explore themes of bravery, sacrifice, and love. Prabhas stars as an army officer, while veteran actress Jaya Prada and newcomer Imanvi are also part of the cast.
