Prabhas’ Fauzi Confirmed as a Two-Part Saga Second Film to Be a Prequel, Reveals Director Hanu Raghavapudi

Prabhas’ upcoming action-drama Fauzi has received a major update. What was initially planned as a single film has now officially been expanded into a two-part saga. Director Hanu Raghavapudi confirmed that the first part will release later this year, while the second part will be a prequel, exploring the early life and journey of the titular character. This structure allows the team to showcase both Fauzi’s present-day mission and the events that shaped his personality.

Why the Story Was Split Into Two Parts

According to Raghavapudi, the decision to make Fauzi a two-part project came from the depth of the story. “When we started developing Fauzi’s world, we realized there was enough material for two full-length films,” he shared in a recent interview.
The prequel film will focus on Fauzi’s transformation—from a sharp, street-smart young man to the intense and charismatic hero seen in the first part. The storytelling will blend timelines, offering emotional depth and richer character development for Prabhas’ role.

What Fans Can Expect From the Two-Part Format

The two-film format also gives the makers more creative room. The first movie will set the stage with high-octane action sequences, while the second part can dive deeper into drama, personal relationships, and the geopolitical backdrop that powers the story.
There is also buzz within the industry that the prequel may feature a younger version of Fauzi, possibly introducing new talent alongside Prabhas. Additionally, releasing the films separately ensures sustained excitement and engagement among fans.

A Connected Yet Independent Experience

Director Raghavapudi assured that both films will stand strong on their own, but watching them in order will provide the full impact of the story. As the first part nears release, the team has already teased powerful visuals, an impactful background score, and an impressive supporting cast that complements Prabhas’ intense performance.
Fauzi is shaping up to be a major milestone in Prabhas’ career, and the two-part narrative approach may set a new standard for ambitious storytelling in Indian cinema.
