Mythri Movie Makers, one of the largest production houses in Indian cinema, has announced one of the most highly anticipated films, Fauzi. For this blockbuster project, the studio is collaborating with the rebel star of Indian cinema, Prabhas, while the film will be helmed by Hanu Raghavapudi, director of Sita Ramam. The makers recently unveiled the grand title poster, featuring a fierce and commanding look of Prabhas, which has instantly set the internet abuzz.
Interestingly, the poster also features the names of mythological warriors like Arjuna and Karna from the Mahabharat. In a recent interview, director Hanu Raghavapudi explained their inclusion, revealing, “Prabhas plays a larger-than-life soldier in Fauzi, and I wanted to infuse his character with the traits of legendary warriors. To me, Arjuna, Karna, and Ekalavya represent three distinct yet powerful dimensions of heroism - skill, sacrifice, and devotion.”
