Prabhas turned 47 on October 23, 2026, and his birthday celebrations arrived with two major updates from his upcoming films. While the makers of Kalki 2898 AD released a special video teasing the return of Bhairava, the team behind Fauzi unveiled a striking poster introducing another mysterious side of the superstar.
The announcements offer two contrasting glimpses of Prabhas’ future on screen: one as a futuristic bounty hunter and the other as a soldier operating in colonial India.
Kalki 2898 AD Sequel Teases Bhairava’s Return
Vyjayanthi Movies marked Prabhas’ birthday with a special behind-the-scenes video celebrating his association with Kalki 2898 AD and its upcoming sequel.
The footage revisits the elaborate sets, production preparations and futuristic world associated with Nag Ashwin’s science-fiction epic.
It also highlights Prabhas as Bhairava, the bounty hunter whose journey became increasingly connected to the film’s mythology.
Sharing the birthday tribute, the makers wrote:
“We are excited to embark on another epic cinematic journey with you…”
The message reinforces plans to continue Bhairava’s story following the events of the 2024 blockbuster.
The sequel is expected to bring back Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama and Kamal Haasan as Supreme Yaskin, whose ambitions became central to the original film’s unresolved conflict.
However, the birthday video is primarily a celebratory production glimpse rather than a complete teaser revealing the sequel’s storyline.
No official theatrical release date has been announced.
Fauzi Poster Reveals Prabhas’ Mysterious Soldier Avatar
Meanwhile, director Hanu Raghavapudi and Mythri Movie Makers celebrated the occasion with new promotional artwork for Fauzi.
The poster features an antique-looking golden coin bearing Prabhas’ profile in military uniform, surrounded by flames.
It carries the intriguing phrases “A Battalion Who Fights Alone” and “Most Wanted Since 1939.”
Another detail, File No. 025, accompanies a question about the central character’s identity.
The filmmakers also promised a short video designed to introduce Prabhas’ character and provide more information about the story.
Set against the backdrop of 1940s colonial India, Fauzi is described as a period drama combining military action, sacrifice and romance.
Imanvi stars opposite Prabhas, while Mithun Chakraborty, Jaya Prada and Anupam Kher are among the supporting cast.
The film marks Prabhas’ collaboration with Raghavapudi, whose previous directorial credits include the romantic drama Sita Ramam.
What Makes Prabhas’ Birthday Announcements Significant?
The two promotional reveals emphasize the range of large-scale productions currently associated with the actor.
While Kalki 2 continues an established science-fiction franchise, Fauzi explores an entirely different historical setting.
Both projects also rely heavily on distinctive visual identities, from Bhairava’s futuristic equipment to Fauzi’s vintage military imagery.
There is one important scheduling distinction: although Fauzi was previously announced for December 3, 2026, more recent reports indicate that its release has been postponed. A revised date has not been officially confirmed.
For now, Prabhas’ birthday has delivered fresh material from two eagerly anticipated films without revealing their complete stories.
