Prabhas’ upcoming film “Salaar” was announced in 2020 amidst the pandemic.After more than two years of anticipation, the makers have finally given us a glimpse into the world they have been working on.The film is directed by Prashanth Neel, who gained fame with the blockbuster “KGF.” Known for his secrecy, Neel has kept the details of “Salaar” under wraps, but with the release of the teaser, the mystery has been unveiled.
Rather than following the trend of midnight teaser releases, the makers of “Salaar” chose a peculiar time—5:12 am on July 6.They explained that this specific time symbolizes the drowning of the protagonist Rocky bhai’s (played by Yash) boat in “KGF,” hinting at a possible shared universe between the two films.
The teaser of “Salaar” evokes the world of “KGF,” and it wouldn’t be surprising if both movies are set in the same universe.The teaser showcases Tinnu Anand, a veteran actor, surrounded by armed men.Unperturbed, he delivers a dialogue about the danger posed by lions, tigers, and elephants, but emphasizes their insignificance when compared to dinosaurs in “Jurassic Park.” The teaser also reveals Prithviraj as the menacing villain and hints at a second part to “Salaar” titled “Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire.”
Prithviraj makes Telugu debut with “Salaar”.The film also features Shruti Haasan, Jagapati Babu, Eshwari Rao, and Sriya Reddy.
Produced by Hombale Films, the same production house behind the successful “KGF” series, “Salaar” reunites director Prashanth Neel with composer Ravi Basrur.
Scheduled for release on September 28, “Salaar” will be available in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi languages.Prabhas, who attained superstardom with the “Baahubali” series, has faced challenges in delivering blockbuster hits since then.Films like “Saaho,” “Radhe Shyam,” and “Adipurush,” despite their massive budgets, received mixed reviews.
With “Adipurush” facing significant backlash, all eyes are now on “Salaar” to see Prabhas back in form.
In addition to “Salaar,” Prabhas will also be seen in the big-budget film “Project K.” Despite the success of the “Baahubali” series, Prabhas has been striving to recreate that success with his subsequent films.The performance of “Salaar” will be closely watched by fans and critics alike.
