When Prabhas stepped onto the Fauzi set, the air shifted, as if a legend had just walked through the doors. The buzz that followed wasn’t about glitz or fanfare; it was about the palpable aura that clung to the polished concrete steps.
Jitin, who’s been chasing roles across south India, recalls his first handshake with Prabhas as “easygoing” and almost untouchable. He quips that the actor carries no weight of stardom, yet the silent presence of Amarendra Baahubali lingers in every stride.
The casting twist came by sheer serendipity. Jitin’s snapshot landed in the director’s inbox, and a late‑night call sealed the deal. “I was in Hyderabad, scrolling for gigs, when Hanu Raghavapudi rang me at 5:30 PM and by 5:40 PM, I was told I’d got the part,” he says.
Director Hanu Raghavapudi, known for his tight storytelling, brings Prabhas, Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Jaya Prada and Jitin Gulati into a period drama that promises grit and grandeur. The ensemble’s chemistry has already sparked curiosity among fans of both Telugu and Hindi cinema.
Set to hit screens worldwide on December 3, Fauzi is positioned to be a crossover hit. With Prabhas’s global fanbase and Jitin’s fresh energy, the film is poised to generate buzz well before the first reel starts.
