”Residents of Rejinagar were not allowed to vote… If I can’t protest against this injustice, what can I do through politics?… After Durga Puja, I will hold a meeting and apologise to the people. I will end my political career,” said Humayun Kabir.
Making light of the FIR against him over the dharna on Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi said that he wants a 100 FIRs filed against him. “There are 45 FIRs against me. My goal is 100,” he said.
Actor Prabhas is now compelled to reorganise his shooting itinerary, with Fauzi firmly at the top of his agenda. The actor intends to shuttle between the sets of Fauzi and Spirit, yet it is the former that commands precedence, as it is slated to reach theatres first. The sequencing is entirely logical: Fauzi has always been earmarked for an earlier release, while Spirit went on the floors considerably later.
Accordingly, Prabhas will devote his principal energies to bringing Fauzi to completion, even as he continues to allocate time to Spirit. He wants to ensure that neither project loses momentum in the months to come.
Fauzi’s theatrical release has been delayed for a reason. Recently, the makers described the film as a Baahubali-esque spectacle that will present Prabhas on an extraordinary scale. Extensive post-production work, large-scale shooting and the film’s ambitious visual requirements led to the postponement from December 3. A new release window in early 2027 is expected. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, Fauzi explores an alternate version of Karna’s story, imagining him joining the Pandavas.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga has completed nearly 40 per cent of Spirit’s shoot since filming began in November 2025. More recently, he noted that around 50 days of filming had been completed, with another 65 still pending. He aims to wrap the film within 115 to 120 shooting days.
The Mumbai schedule has now begun, taking the production into its next crucial phase. Since Prabhas has been occupied with Fauzi, he has not joined the schedule as of now. The team is currently filming scenes that do not involve him.
Fauzi marks the first collaboration between Prabhas and director Hanu Raghavapudi, while Spirit is likewise his first film with Vanga. Both directors are known for emotionally charged storytelling, though they operate in very different registers.
