Fauzi teaser: Prabhas fights against the British in this period spy saga. Watch

On the day of actor Prabhas' 47th birthday, his film Fauzi unveiled its teaser, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. The film, set during World War 2, follows a fictional Indian spy named Fauzi, played by Prabhas. The teaser, released by Mythri Movie Makers and T-Series Films, introduces the character through a conversation between Subhash Chandra Bose and Adolf Hitler, held in Berlin on May 29, 1942.

Hitler dismisses Bose's request for German support, arguing that the British colonial rule in India is a lost cause. Subhash Chandra Bose responds with unwavering conviction, stating India will secure independence from British rule, regardless of Hitler's support. The teaser then reveals Fauzi, a single Indian operative credited with crippling British intelligence, diverting troops, and compromising operations from within.

The operative's unbreakable code, based on the Bhagavad Gita, even perplexed the British more than Germany's Enigma. Subhash Chandra Bose hints at Fauzi's identity, revealing that the British refer to him as Fauzi, who is currently protecting India in Calcutta. The teaser concludes with Prabhas' voiceover, declaring, "Hey, you Britisher!

I will draw your blood and snatch my freedom. Forcefully!" Fauzi, set to release worldwide on March 19, 2027, marks a significant leap in scale and ambition for Hanu Raghavapudi, whose previous work Sita Ramam was both critically and commercially successful.
