Prabhas’ upcoming film ‘Fauzi’ faces online backlash after the release of a teaser that viewers say depicts historical figures in a controversial way. According to the reports, the 2-minute-and-31-second clip portrays Prabhas as a soldier associated with Kolkata, described as someone willing to go to any lengths to protect his motherland.
Outlets link the criticism to the teaser’s portrayal of Subhas Chandra Bose—often referred to as Netaji—and its appearance alongside Adolf Hitler. Some viewers call the portrayal disrespectful and urge an apology, arguing it could undermine Bose’s legacy. Other fans characterize the content as a fictional interpretation of real events.
The coverage largely agrees that the dispute is driven by what people perceive in the teaser, rather than by official responses. Times of India also adds production context, naming director Hanu Raghavapudi and stating the film’s scheduled release date of March 19, 2027. Across the pieces, the central point remains the online reaction to the teaser’s historical imagery.
