The speculative release window for Pan-India superstar Prabhas’s highly anticipated period action drama, Fauzi, has taken a dynamic turn. According to fresh trade reports, the movie is now heavily rumored to hit theaters globally on December 3, 2026. This newly surfaced winter date has generated massive buzz across social media platforms, though an absolute official greenlight from the production house remains pending.
The December rumor introduces an intriguing contradiction to previous internal timelines. Just recently, Cherry, the CEO of Mythri Movie Makers, publicly stated that Fauzi had successfully completed 80% of its principal photography. According to the production chief, the remaining schedule relies entirely on executing three high-octane action sequences featuring Prabhas. At that time, the studio maintained that the film was comfortably on track for a massive Dussehra release window in October 2026—leaving fans locked in an intense debate over whether the film will arrive as a festive autumn treat or a year-end cinematic blockbuster.
“The preparation involved for each of these worlds is incredibly intense. Right now, his entire physical calendar is completely locked with back-to-back shoots, leaving absolutely zero date availability left for the remainder of 2026.”

The Intense Physical Demands of a Multi-Genre Calendar
Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, Fauzi marks the high-profile cinematic debut of social media sensation Imanvi alongside Prabhas, with legendary veterans Mithun Chakraborty and Jaya Prada filling pivotal narrative roles. A recent media brief by Times Now revealed that the Baahubali star has been pushing his physical limits to the edge, continuously cycling through demanding schedules for Fauzi, Nag Ashwin’s Kalki sequel, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s gritty police actioner Spirit over the last quarter.
This unrelenting multi-genre juggle means the actor’s calendar is locked solid for at least the next four months. Meanwhile, major shifts are occurring on his other cinematic fronts. In Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD: Part 2, industry insiders have confirmed that while screen icons Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan remain firmly anchored to their roles, leading lady Deepika Padukone has officially exited the second installment due to irreconcilable production shift demands. With Fauzi entering its final leg, fans are eagerly waiting for Mythri Movie Makers to drop the official poster that will finally settle the high-stakes December versus October release date mystery.
