Hyderabad: Prabhas’s upcoming film Fauzi, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is an exciting project. The talkie portion of the film is almost finished, but the action scenes are still being worked on. These action sequences are expected to take around 100 days to shoot, which shows that the team is putting a lot of effort into creating intense and high-quality scenes.
Long Action Filming Schedule
The long shooting schedule for action scenes shows the team’s dedication to making the film visually appealing. The makers have brought in a second unit to speed up the filming process by shooting in parallel with the main team. This helps keep the production on track.
The team is aiming for a Dasara release, as this is the best time for a successful box-office launch. However, with so much left to shoot, there are concerns that Fauzi might miss this deadline. If the film doesn’t release this year, it could be delayed for another year, pushing it to 2026 or 2027, which would increase costs. The producers, Mythri Movie Makers, are working hard to meet the release target.
Fauzi is set in a period backdrop, and Prabhas plays a soldier. The team is focused on realism and wants Prabhas to do most of his stunts himself, instead of relying on body doubles. This decision comes after criticism of excessive use of stunt doubles in other films.
Strategic Release Planning
Prabhas is also working on Spirit, set for a 2027 release. To avoid conflicts, the makers of Fauzi want to ensure it releases on time this Dasara. If delayed, the film may face challenges with audience expectations.
