Prabhas’s Fauzi, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is planned to be shot continuously, but the film is in danger of losing its release date by a year. Prabhas has allotted his dates and is joining the shoot this week. The producers, Mythri Movie Makers, are keen on releasing the film this year and are targeting a Dasara release.
The reason to do so is that if the film misses this year’s release, then it could lead to a long delay. A Dasara release this year offers the best conditions for the film. It is expected that Spirit’s promotions will start by the end of this year, given that the film is aiming for a March 2027 release.
Fauzi Release Date gets into a tricky situation
In such a case, Spirit’s promotions could affect Fauzi’s visibility and impact. Releasing Fauzi in early 2026 is also difficult due to scheduling conflicts, and the required gap between releases could push Fauzi to late 2027, increasing costs.
Because of this, Mythri Movie Makers strongly wants Fauzi to release this Dasara. If it misses the slot, there is a risk of a one-year delay. From a strategic point of view, Fauzi should release before Spirit, as releasing after Spirit would raise expectations significantly.
