Salaar Review: Helmed by Prashanth Neel, Salaar is expected to enjoy an outstanding theatrical given the madness around the Baahubali star among fans. Salaar’s official budget is still unknown, which heightens the mystery surrounding the movie. Nonetheless, reliable approximations indicate that it falls within the range of ₹300 crore to ₹400 crore.
Salaar Part I: Ceasefire is directed by Prashanth Neel who made the immensely successful two-part KGF series. The advance booking of the film is creating new records in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The film is being released in five languages–Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. Salaar is expected to have a huge opening owing to the big names associated with the film. Besides Prabhas, who has turned into a ‘pan India’ star after Baahubali, the film also has Malayalam star Prithviraj playing a key role.
