Overview
- Producer Y Ravi Shankar confirmed Monday at a pre-release event that Fauzi will not meet its December 3, 2026 release date and has been pushed into 2027.
- The makers have not announced a new release date and say the delay is needed to complete additional post-production work and visual effects to achieve a larger scale.
- Production has been pitched by the team as aiming for a Baahubali-level epic, and some outlets report a roughly ₹600 crore budget though that figure is unverified in these reports.
- Fauzi is directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, stars Prabhas with Imanvi Esmail and others, and is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar under Mythri Movie Makers with T-Series presenting.
- The postponement clears the early-December window that would have put Fauzi against other Telugu releases and leaves fans waiting for new marketing milestones such as trailers and an official 2027 release date.
