The makers of Fauzi have released the film’s teaser on Friday evening, on the occasion of lead actor Prabhas’ 47th birthday. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, of Sita Ramam fame, the teaser introduces Prabhas as a fictional Indian spy, soldier and strategist who operated during World War 2 under Subhash Chandra Bose and created a code based on the Bhagavad Gita that the British considered harder to crack than the German Enigma. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers and presented by T-Series Films, has been pushed from its previously planned December 2026 window to March 19, 2027.

The teaser does not open with Prabhas. It opens in Berlin on May 29, 1942, with a meeting between Subhash Chandra Bose and Adolf Hitler, and uses that conversation to build the mythology of Prabhas’ character before the actor appears on screen.
