# Mythri Ravi Shankar confirms Prabhas film Fauji postponed from December 3

2026-09-21T17:31:48+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk

Corroboration: 4 independent outlets

Producer Mythri Ravi Shankar confirmed at a pre-release event in Hyderabad that Prabhas's film Fauji will not release on December 3, 2026, as originally planned. He did not announce a new date but said the film would showcase Prabhas at a different level, comparing its scale to Baahubali. TeluguCinema and 123telugu report this as a straightforward official confirmation. Tracktollywood adds that distributors and trade insiders were informed days before the public announcement. M9.news reports speculation that the film may now target a January 26, 2027 release due to its pre-Independence setting, though this is not confirmed. With Fauji vacating its slot, Naga Chaitanya's Vrushakarma, Dulquer Salmaan's Sri Sri, and Vishwak Sen's Legacy all moved to claim December 4 as their release date. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Fauji stars Prabhas and Imanvi, with music by Vishal Chandrasekhar. The production house is yet to announce a fresh release date. Fans await confirmation for what is now expected to be a 2027 release.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Most outlets frame the confirmation as a straight industry update. Tracktollywood adds emphasis that the postponement was already known to trade insiders, suggesting a close industry source. M9.news uses 'shocking' and speculates about a specific January 26, 2027 date tied to the film's pre-Independence setting. The other three sources simply report the delay without extra hype. The balanced reading is that while the postponement itself is factual, only m9.news treats the rumoured Republic Day slot as newsworthy enough to lead with, and no source corroborates it. The next concrete step is Mythri Movie Makers announcing a new date, possibly after Republic Day.
