Bhave shares that he and Prabhas have shot for only one day for the period war action drama and that he was introduced to the star on the “Adipurush” set. “I met him on the set of ‘Adipurush.’ Om Raut, who directed the film, had worked with me on his first Marathi movie, ‘Lokmanya: Ek Yugpurush.’ He had called me to the set and introduced me to Prabhas; that’s how we met.”
About shooting with the “Baahubali” actor for “Fauzi,” Bhave shares, “On the sets of ‘Fauzi,’ though he is a very big superstar, he brought a lot of warmth and love. He was very cool. He made the other actors comfortable on the set. Anupamji (Anupam Kher) was there as well. I shot a scene with Anupam ji and Prabhas, which was special as I got to work with two big names. Prabhas is a fantastic human being. Despite being a big superstar, he doesn’t bring his stature or status to the set. We shot very comfortably.”
“Fauzi,” directed by Hanu Raghavapudi (of “Sita Ramam” fame), also stars Imanvi alongside veteran actors Mithun Chakraborty, Bhanu Chander and Jaya Prada in pivotal roles. While the film was earlier scheduled to release on December 3, 2026, it will now hit screens on March 19, 2027.
