Prabhas and director Hanu Raghavapudi have joined hands for the period action drama “Fauji,” which is currently under production.
However, the film found itself in the spotlight after a leaked picture from the sets surfaced online earlier today.
The viral image shows Prabhas in a vintage-era look, sporting a cigarette against a backdrop of palm trees.
The still quickly spread across social media, with fans widely sharing it and praising his striking new avatar.
While fans were thrilled, the production team responded strongly, issuing a strict warning against circulating leaked content. In an official statement, they said that any accounts sharing such images would face necessary legal action.
Director Hanu Raghavapudi also made a personal appeal, urging fans not to spoil the experience. He requested audiences to wait and enjoy the film as intended on the big screen rather than through leaked visuals.
“Fauji” features Prabhas in the lead role, with newcomer Imanvi playing the female lead. The film is being produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
