Vijay Kiragandur Of Hombale Files Provides Release Date Update On Prabhas-Fronted 'Salaar'

Bengaluru, March 24 - Superstar Prabhas will return to the action with Prashanth Neel-directed "Salaar". The Pan-India movie was announced in 2020 with a release date in April 2021, but the shoot of the film kept getting delayed due to the covid-19 pandemic, resulting in the postponement of the arrival date.

Now, the producer of the film, Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films, has provided some key updates regarding the shoot and tentative release date plans. The producer, in an interview with Pinkvilla, confirmed that the shoot of "Salaar" will resume in the month of May.



"We are shooting for about 30 percent of the film. Prabhas then got busy with the promotions of Radhe Shyam and Prashanth got tied up with the post-production of KGF 2. We resume shooting from the month of May", he said, adding that the entire shoot will be wrapped up by the end of this year.

About the release date, Vijay said, "It will be a 2023 release. We intend to release it between the window of April to June".

There has been a lot of speculation about the plot details of "Salaar" as many believe it will be in line with the "KGF" theme. However, the producer refused to provide any hint about its plot because of the strict interaction by director Neel. "There is a strict instruction from the director to not reveal the storyline, but working with Prabhas is a real pleasure", he added.



It has been strongly reported that "Salaar" will be released in two-part like Yash-fronted "KGF", which is also produced by Hombale Films and directed by Neel. Vijay didn't deny the two-part release of the action thriller film but said that everything will be revealed in due course of time.

"Salaar" marks Prabhas' maiden collaboration with Neel who is gearing up for the worldwide release of his highly-awaited "KGF: Chapter 2" on April 14. "Salaar" is Hombale Films' 3rd Pan-India movie that also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu in prominent roles.
