Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire became a major success, making it the highest-grossing Telugu film of 2023. Hence, the makers expedited the production of its sequel. But considering the poor performance of Prabhas’s The Raja Saab, reports suggested that Salaar Part 2 has been shelved. But a new post from the makers tells a different story. Check it out!
Salaar part 2 stopped?
Prabhas recently starred in the fantasy comedy film, The Raja Saab. Despite the star’s huge fan following, the film Maruthi did not do well at the box office. Soon after, a report in Deccan Chronicle suggested that the film had been shelved.
An insider close to the project told the above-mentioned publication that both director Prashanth Neel and Prabhas have decided to completely redesign Salaar 2. “What worked three years ago won’t work now. The project is being tweaked to meet the changing tastes of the audience,” the source said. The report disappointed many and led to speculation about the future of the film.
But on actress Shruti Haasan’s birthday, the producer put all speculations to rest by releasing a post. A picture of Haasan and Prabhas has been posted on the official Instagram handle of the film in which the actress can be seen showing him the phone screen. Captioning the happy picture, the makers wrote, “Aadya is showing Deva what happens to her in #Salaar2!! With this post, the team indirectly announced that Salaar Part 2 is in the making.
Talking about the franchise, Prashanth Neel’s Salaar: Part 1-Ceasefire also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Bobby Simha, Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu and Shriya Reddy. The film featured the changing dynamics of two friends which later influenced Khansar’s future.
Soon after its theatrical release in December 2023, the film took the box office by storm. By 2027, Prabhas and Sukumaran are expected to reprise their roles in the tentatively titled Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryanga Parva as they will continue to fight for power in Khansar. Talking about Prabhas’ work front, the actor also has Spirit, Kalki 2898 AD Part 2 and Fauji in the pipeline.
