Salaar marks Prabhas’ first collaboration with Prashanth Neel. Talking about why he chose Prabhas for the film, the director had told TOI, “I was drawn to his innocence. Prabhas exudes more innocence. Prabhas exudes more innocence compared to most other actors. To draw out this innocence and show it on screen will be fantastic.”
Salaar is set to hit screens on September 28, 2023. According to reports, the film will clash with Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter at the box office.
