Prabhas and Prashanth Neel‘s highly anticipated pan-Indian action film Salaar is set for a theatrical release in December 2023. The film has been officially confirmed as a two-parter due to its extensive storyline, as revealed by director Prashanth Neel.
Salaar: A Two-Part Saga
Director Prashanth Neel recently shared intriguing details about the film. While initial reports suggested that the movie might be part of the KGF Universe, Neel has denied these claims. However, he confirmed that Part 2 is very much on the cards, citing the film’s lengthy runtime of six hours as the reason for dividing it into two parts.
Sequel Release Strategies
Typically, sequel films are released promptly after their prequels. This has been the case for franchises like Baahubali, KGF, Pushpa, and Kantara. However, the movie presents a different scenario.
Prabhas and NTR’s Commitments
Prabhas and Prashanth Neel have already committed to other projects following Salaar Part 1’s release. Prabhas has lined up Project K, Maruthi’s film, Sandeep Vanga’s Spirit, and a potential collaboration with Hanu Raghavapudi. Director Prashanth Neel, on the other hand, will move on to NTR 31.
The Impact of Salaar’s Success
Audience anticipation for sequels is often heightened by the success of their prequels. If Salaar achieves the same level of success as KGF and the Baahubali series, an immediate start for Part 2 is highly likely. This could potentially alter the planned film schedules of Prabhas and NTR.
