Prabhas’ ambitious pan-Indian film Fauzi is making headlines again, as the team scrambles to meet a crucial December theatrical release deadline reportedly set by Netflix. With Hanu Raghavapudi at the helm and Imanvi starring opposite Prabhas, Fauzi is touted as a pre-independence action epic mounted on a grand scale by Mythri Movie Makers.

Prabhas, who has been navigating a mixed box office track record recently, has his fans eagerly awaiting this project. However, the lack of regular updates from the makers has led to mounting frustration among his fanbase, with repeated trolling of the production house surfacing on social media platforms.

Industry sources confirm that Netflix has secured the digital rights for Fauzi at a premium. However, as per reports, "if the film misses the December deadline, Netflix may slash down the deal price or make changes as per their comfort." In response to these high-stakes conditions, the production team is said to be expediting the remaining portions of the shoot to avoid any financial setbacks and to ensure Fauzi’s grand pan-Indian rollout.

With the deadline looming, all eyes are on Mythri Movie Makers and the creative team to announce a firm release date soon. Prabhas’ fans and industry watchers alike await further developments with anticipation—and some skepticism.
