Hanu Raghavapudi confirms Prabhas’ Fauzi to have a prequel
In a recent update, Hanu Raghavapudi revealed that Fauzi will include a prequel film that will explore a different dimension from the first installment. He explained that the team is portraying one aspect of Prabhas’ character in the current movie, while the second installment is expected to delve into another perspective.
Hanu also mentioned that there is plenty of material from India’s colonial past-stories that ended tragically but could have been fairy tales in another reality, and added that he has incorporated a few real-life experiences that personally inspired him.
Interestingly, the filmmaker emphasized his desire to portray freedom fighters in a bright and positive light. He underlined that it is important to celebrate them as true heroes by creating aspirational films, rather than presenting their stories in a grim or sorrowful manner.
