Prabhas’ Fauzi teaser caught in controversy

HYDERABAD

Prabhas’ upcoming film Fauzi has found itself in an unexpected controversy over its portrayal of freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose. Chandra Kumar Bose, the freedom fighter’s grandnephew, has reportedly objected to the teaser’s depiction of Bose in connection with Adolf Hitler. He has demanded the withdrawal and correction of the promotional material. The objection has brought the film’s historical presentation under scrutiny even before its theatrical release. For the makers, the challenge now is to address the criticism without allowing the controversy to overshadow the film’s anticipation.
