Prabhas-Fronted Two-Part 'Salaar' Will Now Release In 2023?

Hyderabad, January 31 - The covid-19 pandemic is still taking a toll on the Indian film industry as the release dates of the tentpole titles are getting reshuffled again. The entire release calendar (apart from a few films) of the first half of 2022 has been rescheduled.

Apart from the reshuffling of the release dates this year, there might be a couple of films that may get pushed to the next year. One such film is "Salaar", starring Prabhas. The Kannada - Telugu bilingual movie, directed by Prashanth Neel, was slated to release in April this year. However, the movie is still under production and might take a significant time in the post-production work.



"Salaar" is being made on a bigger scale and it will reportedly be darker than Yash-starrer "KGF", which is also directed by Neel under the same production house, Hombale Films. Going by the recent reports and strong buzz, "Salaar", just like "KGF", will also be released in two parts, with the first part is now slated for the 2023 release.

Since the entire 2022 is packed with blockbuster titles, the makers of "Salaar" have reportedly decided to release the first part of the film in 2023. Though there is no official confirmation yet, the big push, however, looks inevitable considering the fact that the movie is yet to be completed, plus, there is hardly any clear release window left in 2022. It is a Pan-India film and will release in multiple languages.

Prabhas, meanwhile, will still have two releases this year in the form of "Radhe Shyam", and "Adipurush". Directed by Radha Krishan Kumar, "Radhe Shyam" will be released on March 11 after being pushed from January 14. It is a Hindi-Telugu bilingual film that will also release in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.

"Adiprush", on the other hand, will be released on August 11 as originally scheduled. Directed by Om Raut of "Tanhaji" fame, "Adipurush" is based on the Hindu epic "Ramayana". It is again a Hindi-Telugu bilingual movie that, according to reports, will be released in 15 languages (domestic+international) worldwide on over 20000 screens. It also stars Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan, Sunny Singh, among others in prominent roles.
