Prabhas' work front

Prabhas was last seen in The Raja Saab, which also starred Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, and Boman Irani. The film was released on January 9 amid much anticipation. However, despite being one of the most anticipated films among Prabhas' fans, the film underperformed at the box office and received a largely negative reception from netizens, many of whom called it 'cringe.'

Next, Prabhas will be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit alongside Tripti Dimri. Talking of Fauzi, the film stars Imanvi as the female lead and is directed by Hanu Raghavapudi.
