Prabhas' Fauzi Faces Criticism Over Fictional Netaji-Hitler Meeting in Teaser
Prabhas' upcoming film Fauzi has sparked controversy over a teaser depicting a fictional meeting between Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Adolf Hitler.

The debate highlights tensions between creative freedom in cinema and the responsibility to maintain historical accuracy when depicting national icons. Actor Subodh Bhave plays Netaji in the film.
