Actor Prabhas is gearing up for the theatrical release of his much-awaited film, The Raja Saab. The film is scheduled to premiere on the occasion of Sankranthi 2026. Not just Raja Saab, Prabhas also has yet another film lined up in the pipeline. He will be collaborating with filmmaker Hanu Raghavapudi, who is best known for Sita Ramam.
On Monday, the makers of Prabhas and Raghavapudi's film treated fans to a surprise announcement on Diwali 2025 on X, formerly Twitter.
The team dropped a pre-look poster featuring Prabhas from the upcoming film, which is rumoured to be titled Fauji.
The pre-look poster features a silhouette of Prabhas, who will seemingly don the uniform and essay the role of a soldier this time. While the actor's face wasn't revealed, a number of guns were surrounding him, hinting towards the storyline.
The poster read: “A battalion who stands alone.”
