Fauzi Director Hanu Raghavpudi Confirms Sequel With Prabhas
Fauzi portrays Prabhas as a fearless soldier under the British regime, but director Hanu Raghavapudi stated that the character was inspired by the mythological figures Arjuna, Karna, and Ekalavya. These figures are renowned for their exceptional talent, unwavering dedication, and selfless sacrifice.
The filmmaker reportedly began to envision how differently the Mahabharata might have unfolded if Karna had chosen to side with the Pandavas, which ultimately led to the idea for the movie. However, only the concept of the Gita is used as the film’s source material, but it has nothing to do with mythology.
Fauzi tells the tale of patriotism, human feelings, and the hardships of the colonial period. While speaking to 123 Telugu, the director remarked, “We’re portraying one world of in this movie, and the second installment will explore another dimension. There’s abundant material from our colonial past – stories that ended tragically but could’ve been fairy tales in another reality. I’ve also woven in a few real-life experiences that inspired me personally.”
