Suryaa Entertainment Desk: Director Hanu Raghavapudi's period action drama 'Fauji' (File No... Glimpses released from director Hanu Raghavapudi's period action drama 'Fauji' (File No. 25) are trending on social media on the occasion of rebel star Prabhas' birthday. With huge elevations, stunning visuals and a 1940s era war atmosphere, the makers have unveiled this teaser in a very ambitious way. But keeping aside the excitement created by these glimpses, netizens started interesting discussions and trolls on some of the scenes which have now become a hot topic in Film Nagar circles. According to the plot, the movie is set in the pre-independence period, i.e.
1940s. But netizens mainly focused on Prabhas smoking a filter cigarette in one of these glimpses. Memes and criticisms are rife on social media platforms as to whether filter cigarettes were made available to India before independence, i.e. in the 1940s. Many people are commenting that while making films with a historical background, they should be more careful about such small logics and the use of objects related to that time. On the other hand, netizens are also expressing different opinions based on Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's look in the glimpses and the over-the-top elevations given in the presence of Hitler.
It is being discussed that director Hanu Raghavapudi, who has given a sensitive emotional film like 'Sitaharam', has shown historical elements with some cinematic liberty for mass elevations in this film. This topic is going viral as the audience usually pay close attention to the story-telling and detailing in period movies. But keeping this trolling and criticism aside, Prabhas' mass and royal look is entertaining the fans. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers with a huge budget, Imanvi is playing the female lead and Vishal Chandrasekhar is composing the music. The film, which is being made as a periodical action drama, will release worldwide next year. As this filter cigarette controversy is currently going viral on social media, it is interesting to see what kind of explanation the film unit or the director will give in the coming days.
