Mumbai, Oct 25 (UNI) Filmmaker Hanu Raghavapudi has shed light on why his upcoming pan-India film ‘Fauji’ features Sanskrit shlokas, offering audiences a glimpse into the thought process behind this creative choice.

Set against the backdrop of pre-independence India, “Fauji” will see Prabhas stepping into the role of a soldier in the, Azad Hind Fauj, marking his first period drama since “Baahubali”. The film will showcase patriotism, deep emotions and important life thoughts.

Talking about why they had used the Shlokas, director Hanu Raghavapudi said, “We intentionally used Sanskrit Shlokas because they add gravity and meaning to our story which is about a warrior. But, let me tell you that this is not mythological film. We’ve only drawn philosophical inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita.
