The makers of Prabhas-starrer Fauzi have shared a major update on the much-awaited period action drama. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the film has generated significant buzz since its announcement, and the latest update has now confirmed its theatrical plans.
Along with the announcement, Mythri Movie Makers unveiled a new poster featuring Prabhas in an intense look. The poster shows the actor seated with a rifle in his hand, covered in blood and surrounded by fallen soldiers, hinting at the film's war backdrop. The makers captioned the poster, "Agyataparv Ends. The Rebellion Begins," while unveiling the release date.
Avoids Another Salaar-Dunki Style Clash
The release schedule ensures that Fauzi will not have a direct box office clash with Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is expected to arrive in theatres later in December, giving Fauzi an exclusive theatrical window before the Shah Rukh Khan-led action entertainer hits cinemas.
The announcement has reminded fans of the much-discussed Salaar and Dunki box office clash in 2023, when films led by Prabhas and Shah Rukh Khan released within days of each other. This time, however, the makers have opted for a release strategy that avoids a similar head-to-head battle.
