KGF team next Salaar with Prabhas on Septemner 28th - official

Salaar is an out-and-out mass action and adventure film which is shot around the globe in countries such as India, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The first installment of the project is already completed, and Prabhas will soon shift his entire focus to completing the last installment.  While the entire team is going extensive with their effort to execute the film well, the maximum grind will go into VFX for which the makers have hired a foreign studio to complete this. The bar for the movie has already been set quite high.

While Salaar is big in itself, it becomes even more promising with Prashanth Neel, India's most sought-after director directing it. Post the success of the KGF franchise, Prashanth has become a household name and is certainly one of the biggest Pan India director.

Salaar is one of the most anticipated films, starring Prabhas who enjoys pan India appeal. Paired with Shruti Haasan, the movie is being released pan India in 5 languages. The movie also has versatile actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, besides a superlative ensemble cast of Jagapathi Babu, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy and others in the key role. Salaar has already created a buzz among the nation as some of the biggest powerhouses who have written history with their box office numbers are coming together to create another blockbuster. Hombale Films, the makers of mass appealing franchise KGF and the lead actor of India’s highest grosser to date Bahubali, is all set to open just another unimaginable door for the mass audience in terms of great content, and high-octane action.    

Salaar is a combination of India’s two biggest franchises Bahubali and KGF as this is for the first time the Hombale Films, producers of KGF, the director of KGF, the technicians of KGF, and the hero of Bahubali will be coming together to serve India yet another blockbuster in 2023.

Hombale Films, which has blockbusters like KGF and KGF 2 to their credit is gearing up for the release of Salaar in 2023. The fans surely can’t miss the dynamic collaboration of Director, Producer and Technicians of KGF and the hero of Bahubali!

Meanwhile, it is being learnt that Hombale Film’s Salaar has been mounted on a very huge scale and has been budgeted at a whopping 400+ crores. While the dynamic team and technicians of KGF are also a part of Salaar, we can certainly now say that the era of Salaar has begun!

Vijay backs Nelson despite Beast flop

 Thalapathy Vijay has assured director Nelson that he would do a film for him at the earliest. Beast collections have dipped badly and below 50 % of the first two days. Sun Pictures and Vijay who is a personal friend of  Tirupur Subramanian , head of exhibitors body, have asked him to ask movie halls to at least hold the film for one more week in main screens. From Monday onwards, big screens that were allotted to Beast are shifting to KGF 2.

Rajinikanth saw Beast at a private show and the next day he saw KGF 2. Rumours say that the producer of Rajinikanth's next film has said that trade has conveyed a negative rating to the Nelson- Rajini combo. As Annaatthe was only an average hit and Beast a just scraped through film from director Nelson , trade feels that this combo has two minus to start with.

Vijay is said to have taken the stance that he had clearly approved the film screenplay and the failure blame being put on Nelson was not right. He said that misjudging the success of KGF 2 in Tamil Nadu was also another reason and the fault lay with Sun Pictures. Going by previous track record of a lesser Star Karti film Kaaithi pitted against Bigil doing reasonably well, Sun should have postponed the film by a week and this would given Beast a breathing space and away from the direct firing line of KGF euphoria. 

Sun Pictures seemed to have been over confident  and result was that the production house and it's distributor Red Giant are now asking movie halls to retain the film in big screens. Vijay said to his inner circle that though Nelson came with a novel story line, it was he who chose a ` safe' film subject and ended up with mud on his face.

Sources say that Sun Pictures might back Vijay- Nelson project . Nelson after Rajinikanth film and Vijay after the Vamsi- Dil Raju film is expected to reunite. Though Vijay is not known to repeat directors who failed , in this case he feels that Nelson is not the culprit. Sources point out that En Tamizh Magan in which he played a dual role was his brain child and directed by Bharthan but  it flopped. He gave another date for Bharathan and it was Baairava.
