Rebel star Prabhas has once again grabbed headlines — not for an action-packed film update, but for a heartfelt birthday message that may have just teased something exciting for fans. The pan-India superstar took to Instagram to wish director Hanu Raghavapudi a happy birthday and, in doing so, hinted at being part of a “special” project with him.
In his Instagram story, Prabhas shared a striking monochrome picture of the Fauji director and penned a warm note: “Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, Hanu sir… Happy to be a part of something special with you.” The post has sparked speculation about the scale and uniqueness of Fauji, a period action-adventure film that’s already generating strong buzz among fans and industry insiders.
Hanu Raghavapudi, known for his storytelling finesse and visual flair, has teamed up with Prabhas for the much-awaited film Fauji, which is set in a rugged military backdrop with a rich emotional core. With Prabhas at the helm, expectations are sky-high, and this recent message has only fueled excitement around what the project could deliver.
As per recent reports, Fauji is nearing completion, with only a few portions left to shoot. Following this, Prabhas is expected to return to his other major commitments, including Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, The Raja Saab with director Maruthi, and the highly anticipated sequels Salaar 2 and Kalki 2. However, before plunging back into work, the actor has reportedly taken a much-needed break.
According to a fresh update from India Today, the Baahubali star is currently vacationing in Italy, enjoying some downtime amid a hectic shooting schedule. Sources reveal that Prabhas plans to take a full month off before resuming work. Upon his return, he will reportedly wrap up the patchwork for Fauji and get back on sets for The Raja Saab.
With multiple mega projects lined up and his heartfelt connection with the directors he works with, Prabhas continues to prove that he’s not just a superstar, but a grounded collaborator who values the people behind the camera. As Fauji gears up for release later this year, fans can only wait eagerly to witness what this “something special” turns out to be.
