Here is star hero Prabhas posing with his new leading lady, Imanvi, a dancer and Instagram celebrity with over 6 lakh followers. Imanvi is making her debut as an actress in feature films alongside none other than one of India’s biggest heroes, who recently delivered a historic blockbuster with Kalki 2898 AD. The Prabhas and Imanvi-starrer as-yet-untitled film had its launch with a formal pooja ceremony this morning in Hyderabad.

Tentatively titled Fauji, this much-talked-about film is touted as a period drama, and it will be directed by Sita Ramam fame Hanu Raghavapudi. The buzz has it that the film is set in the backdrop of the pre-independent India in the 1940s, and it explores the heroic tale of a warrior who rises from the shadows, emerging from a society that believed war was the only answer to the buried injustices and forgotten truths that history kept hidden from the world. “Not every historical event resonates with our emotions and thoughts, but this story is written by a warrior to bring justice to the people of his motherland,” read a note from the makers.

Leading Tollywood production house Mythri Movie Makers is bankrolling this prestigious project. Veteran actors Mithun Chakraborty and Jaya Prada will be seen in crucial roles in the movie. Chak de India fame Sudeep Chatterjee will crank the camera, while Vishal Chandrasekhar will compose the music.
