Prabhas' 'Salaar' Reportedly Confirmed To Release In Two Parts

Bengaluru, April 16 - Superstar Prabhas' period action thriller film Salaar with director Prashanth Neel has been the talk of the town ever since it was announced in 2020. The biggie is being produced by Hombale Films which previously produced mega-blockbusters KGF: Chapter 2 and Kantara last year.## The highly anticipated Pan India biggie is also making noise for the blockbuster rumours around it and one of them going viral ever since is that it would be released in two parts. Now, the latest development confirmed that the movie will indeed be released in two parts. ## There is a video going viral on social media in which popular Kannada actor Devaraj is reportedly hinting toward the film's second part. Devaraj is said to be playing the role of villain and he can be heard saying that his role will be more in the second part than the first part. ## The makers have been tight-lipped about the movie's two-part release. Director Prashanth Neel said previously that if it is in two parts, it will be told at the right time and in the right way, but it seems Devaraj has spoiled their ambitious plans of announcing the second part in a grand fashion. ## Apart from being shot on a huge scale, Salaar is carrying a massive star cast across different industries. Shruti Haasan is playing the female lead while Jagapathi Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran are also there in prominent roles along with many others. It is also being speculated that Yash aka Rocky Bhai might feature in a cameo role. ## Salaar (First Part) is scheduled to release on September 28, 2023, in Kannada, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Tamil languages. ## #Salaar Two Parts Confirmed 🥳💥 #Prabhas pic.twitter.com/oN2oK6bHCu— Hail Prabhas (@HailPrabhas007) April 15, 2023 ## Stay tuned...

Farhad Samji Breaks Silence On 'Remove Farhad Samji From Hera Pheri 3' Trend

Mumbai, April 14 - Director Farhad Samji, who is gearing up for the release of the much-awaited Salman Khan starrer Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, has been at the center of social media negativity regarding his future films. ## In February this year, it came to light that Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal would be reuniting for the 3rd installment of the much loved Hera Pheri and they even shot an announcement video for the same. ## It was also reported that Farhad Samji would be directing the film, and soon after it was revealed, the fans of Akshay Kumar started a negative trend "Remove Farhad Samji from Hera Pheri 3" as they didn't want him to direct such a huge film. ## A section of the film industry supported the trend and pointed out how it's justified to blame Samji entirely if a certain film or series of him didn't meet the expectations. The critisism grew after Samji's web series, "Pop Kaun" met with disaster response. ## The filmmaker finally breaks silence on the trend and spoke to Bollywood Hungama. "Firstly, when the film has not even been officially announced, toh kaun hai yeh log? We try our best. If anyone has any problem, then we'll try to rectify it by making better movies and by writing better punches. Our intention is to appeal to audiences of all kinds and provide them with a film that has a combination of romance, masala, action, comedy etc".## "God has been very kind right from my writing days, and it continues as I turned director. Housefull 4 (2019) is the biggest hit of Akshay Kumar. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is such a huge success if we take into account the ROI. Ab iske aage kya bolne ka?", he added.## There hasn't been officially confirmed yet whether Samji will direct the film as many reports stated that he only directed promo and might not helm the film. The film will also see Sanjay Dutt joining the team. It will be produced by Firoz Nadiadwala and will go on floors in the second half of 2023. ## Stay tuned...
