Prabhas Abhishek Bachchan Collaboration Turns Industry Upside Down
Fauji, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is being mounted on a grand scale as a war drama, with Prabhas in the lead role.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 18 Sept 2025 2:41 PM ISTWhen two rivers meet, the current becomes impossible to ignore. The Telugu film industry is about to experience a similar rush as Superstar Prabhas, Tollywood’s superstar, may share the screen with Abhishek Bachchan, son of Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, in the much-anticipated film Fauji. While Bollywood actors appearing in South films is not new, Abhishek joining a Telugu project is noteworthy because he is not a top star himself, though his father’s legacy carries immense weight.
Fauji, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, is being mounted on a grand scale as a war drama, with Prabhas in the lead role. Sources reveal that Hanu recently approached Abhishek to play a crucial part, and discussions are ongoing. If confirmed, this will be Abhishek Bachchan’s Telugu debut, forming a pan-Indian combination that has fans excited.
Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Fauji is already creating buzz for its scale, story, and cast. Insiders say Abhishek’s presence will add star power and a fresh dynamic to the film. While his father Amitabh Bachchan has acted in Telugu cinema and recently appeared alongside Prabhas in Kalki 2898 A.D., this will be Abhishek’s first Telugu project. His presence could strengthen the connection between Bollywood and Tollywood audiences and add an interesting dynamic to a star-studded war drama that is already creating waves in trade circles and social media.
Fans and media are keeping a close eye on Abhishek's decision. If he agrees, Fauji will not only be a big deal for Prabhas but also a major collaboration across the country for the Bachchan family. Cross-industry projects are reshaping Indian cinema, and Fauji promises a grand, impactful story once Abhishek joins.
