About Prabhas’ Fauzi

Fauzi is a period drama directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, set against the backdrop of the 1940s and the Indian National Army led by Subhas Chandra Bose. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film stars Prabhas in the lead role alongside debutante Imanvi, with Mithun Chakraborty, Jaya Prada and Anupam Kher in supporting parts. Shooting has been underway at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad.

The incident has triggered fresh concern within Tollywood about the safety arrangements made for crew members who travel to and from shoot locations, particularly during early morning hours when fatigue and road conditions can both be factors. Workers in production unions typically have no control over the vehicles assigned to them or the schedules they are asked to keep.
