On his birthday, Prabhas confirmed the speculations surrounding the title of the film by officially unveiling ‘Fauji’ with its first-look poster. He captioned the post,
“Padmavyuha victorious Partha. Pandava Paksha established Karna. Guruvirihite Ekalavya. Janmanaivacha warrior Asha.”
(Translation: “Conqueror of the Padmavyuha, Arjuna stands unwaveringly with the Pandavas. Like Ekalavya, loyal to his guru, he is a warrior by birth – fearless and always hopeful in the heat of battle.”)
