After a long wait and a few delays, Prabhas‘ Salaar hit the theaters on Friday, December 22, 2023. The film has received positive reviews from the audience, calling it the actor’s comeback. While the movie ends with a cliffhanger, leaving room for a sequel, its release date has become a hot discussion among viewers. Reportedly, the movie’s second part has been titled Salaar Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam.
As it is, all eyes are now on Salaar Part 2. Fans have been discussing the 30-minute-long climax of the first instalment on social media. Many also wonder how long director Prashanth Neel would take to make the sequel. However, it seems that fans will have to wait as the director might take two years to make the movie.
Salaar sequel will not release until April 2024
Earlier, rumors were rife that Salar Part 2 would come out in April 2024. However, things do not seem to be going in that direction because Prashanth Neel already has plans for another movie. The director has allegedly signed a film with RRR star Jr NTR. Moreover, Neel is known for taking years in the production of a film to bring out the perfect entertainer.
On the other hand, in an interview with India Today, Salaar’s producer, Vijay Kiragandur, confirmed that the filming of Salaar Part 2 will commence next year. The producer said, “The script for Salaar Part 2 is locked. If you see Salaar Part 1 you would notice that it’s not complete, obviously. The story will come a full circle only after you watch Part 2. So, the story is locked.”
Kiragandur further revealed that Prashanth Neel is planning on taking a break for a few months and then starting filming. He said, “The team for Salaar is separate, so once the film releases on December 22, the director [Prashanth Neel] will take a break for a couple of months and then start the shooting of Salaar Part 2 next year.”
Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Shruti Haasan play key roles in Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire. The film’s plot revolves around two childhood friends who become each other’s worst enemies. It is set against the backdrop of the fictional kingdom of Khansaar.
