Prabhas' Salaar is the most awaited film across the country as it is directed by Prashant Neel of KGF fame. The film features Prabhas romancing Shruti Haasan and stars Jagapathi Babu in a key role. Malayalam super star Prithviraj Sukumaran is playing an important role.
Prabhas sometime back confirmed Prithviraj's presence in the project saying "Prithviraj sir is doing Salaar. We are lucky (to have him) and so happy that he accepted to be part of it,"
Speaking about Salaar and Prabhas,Prithviraj Sukumaran said “I had spoken to Prashanth, Prabhas and (producers) Hombale Films. Salaar is a hugely exciting film. I know what the film is about, which is part of the reason I am excited about it,” He said “I read the script of Salaar and I am really excited about it. I was approached for the project long time back but covid spoiled all the plans and availability of dates became an issue. However, all that sorted out and when Prabhas asked me to do the fil, I couldn't refuse it'.
