Jitin Gulati on Fauzi’s delayed release
Recently, the film’s producer announced that Prabhas’ Fauzi had been delayed and would now be released next year. However, he did not reveal the reason behind the delay. Jitin said the announcement did not come as a shock to the team and added, “I don’t know how much is going to be pushed; I don’t know what is the new date that they are thinking about. But it was not a shock. I mean, of course, we are still shooting for it. So it was quite a, it was quite understood. And the idea is not to give a half-baked project. I mean, a film lives for a lifetime. What once comes out? You cannot undo it.”

He added, “We’d rather be very, very satisfied with what we are doing. And I know the producers and the directors and the cast involved are very happy with the outcome, and I don’t think they want to compromise any bit. So if it takes about, let’s say, a few months more to finish it properly, I think it’s going to be worth it.”

Jitin Gulati on what makes Fauzi different
Jitin believes what Hanu Raghavapudi is creating with Fauzi has “never been seen before”. Explaining why he is so confident about the film, he said, “Why am I so confident? And why are we so confident? Is because of our greater conviction. Here. Hanu Raghavapudi is a perfectionist. He is one of the most hardworking directors I’ve worked with. And the great part about the film is that, yes, while there is scale to it, there is a certain vision to it, but it’s not coming at us at the cost of emotion and the finer points of human interaction or nuance.”

The actor further said that Fauzi will combine its massive scale with attention to detail. He said, “It’s a great balance of what I see on the set. Also, when we’re shooting with other actors, it’s a great balance of what he brings with scale, along with very nuanced human emotions. I know people somehow don’t expect bigger films, bigger scale films to be that detailed, but I can tell you, in Fauzi, that particular aspect has been taken very well, taken care of very well.”
