Ever since the teaser of Hanu Raghavapudi’s period action film Fauzi dropped, it has attracted controversy. The glimpse sees Subhas Chandra Bose in conversation with Adolf Hitler during World War II and hyping Prabhas’ superspy character. Bose’s grandnephew, socio-political activist and former BJP vice president in West Bengal, Chandra Kumar Bose, now wants the filmmakers to take down the teaser for distorting history.
Subhas Chandra Bose’s grandnephew on Fauzi teaser
Socio-political leader Suparno Satpathy, the great-grandson of writer Kalindi Charan Panigrahi and the grandson of the former chief minister of Odisha, Nandini Satpathy, posted the teaser of Fauzi on X (formerly Twitter) with his opinion. He wrote, “Dear @hanurpudi Garu, describing in one word this teaser is ‘goosebumps’ … Mixing fiction with history isn’t a good idea …nevertheless, best wishes are for the release on 19 Mar ‘2027. Netaji Zindabad!! Jai Hind!!…SS.”
