Hyderabad: Pan-India superstar Prabhas celebrated his 46th birthday today with fans across the globe showering the ‘Rebel Star’ with love and wishes. Adding to the celebrations, the makers of his highly anticipated period drama officially unveiled the film’s title as ‘Fauji’ along with a striking first-look poster that has taken social media by storm.
A Soldier’s Tale from Hidden Chapters of History
The first-look poster presents Prabhas in a never-seen-before avatar – standing tall as a British Indian Army officer against the backdrop of a burning British flag. The powerful imagery has already ignited excitement among cinephiles and history enthusiasts alike.
Sharing the poster on social media, the makers penned an intriguing message: “Arjuna, the conqueror of the Chakravyuha. Karna, who stood on the side of the Pandavas. Ekalavya, who had no guru. He is a warrior by birth. #PrabhasHanu is #FAUJI – the bravest tale of a soldier from the hidden chapters of our history. Happy Birthday, Rebel Star #Prabhas.”
The Film Details
Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi (of ‘Sita Ramam’ fame), ‘Fauji’ is a period action drama set in pre-Independence India. The film promises to showcase an untold story of bravery and sacrifice from a lesser-known chapter of India’s freedom struggle.
Star Cast:
- Prabhas in the lead role as a British Indian Army officer
- Imanvi (social media sensation) as the female lead

The combination of Prabhas’s star power and Hanu Raghavapudi’s storytelling prowess (after the critically acclaimed ‘Sita Ramam’) has created massive anticipation for this project.

From Baahubali to Pan-India Domination
Since ‘Baahubali’ catapulted him to unprecedented stardom, Prabhas has been India’s true pan-India star, consistently choosing diverse and challenging roles.
