Fauzi shoot halted after Hyderabad accident
Following the accident, the Prabhas's Fauzi shoot has been temporarily suspended. Reports suggest that the team has paused work in light of the tragedy. The incident is understood to have occurred near the Toopranpet Bridge under the Choutuppal police jurisdiction.
While details continue to emerge, it has been reported that the injured crew members are currently receiving medical care. The film unit is yet to share further updates on the condition of those affected.
Production near completion despite setback
Despite the disruption, Fauzi is believed to be in its final stages. It has been indicated by Mythri Movie Makers CEO Cherry that nearly 80 per cent of the shoot has already been completed, with only three action sequences featuring Prabhas remaining.
The development comes shortly after the makers issued a warning regarding leaked visuals from the set. It had been stated by the team on social media that sharing such content would invite strict action, as it could impact the overall viewing experience.
Fauzi, which also stars Mithun Chakraborty and Jaya Prada, is reportedly being lined up for a Dussehra release later this year, although an official date is yet to be confirmed.
