Fauzi has been delayed as the film reportedly needs around four more months of shooting. This is said to be one reason the movie was pushed from its December 3rd release date.
Producer Ravi Shankar has confirmed that Fauzi will now release only in 2027. The delay has also affected Imanvi, who is making her acting debut opposite Prabhas.
Director Hanu Raghavapudi introduced her as the female lead, giving her a major opportunity in Telugu cinema.
She reportedly hoped the film’s release would help her receive more offers.
However, she now has to wait longer. Interestingly, Imanvi is reportedly not signing new projects until Fauzi releases, despite receiving other offers from filmmakers.
