Hombale Films unveiled the much-awaited teaser of Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire, a highly anticipated pan-Indian film starring Prabhas and directed by Prashanth Neel, the mastermind behind KGF. The teaser, released today, sets the stage with actor Tinny Anand's character surrounded by armed men. To clarify the situation, he simplifies it by stating, "Lion, Cheetah, Tiger, and Elephant...they are very dangerous," followed by glimpses of the Salaar world, emphasizing that it is not like Jurassic Park. The teaser then introduces Prabhas as the formidable king of this jungle, showcasing his prowess with an array of weapons including an SMG, pistols, a sword, an axe, and his bare fists, as he annihilates his adversaries. Towards the end, we catch a glimpse of Prithviraj Sukumaran, who portrays the antagonist in the film. Additionally, the teaser reveals that Salaar will be released in multiple parts, with the first part titled 'Ceasefire.'
Since the teaser's release, fans have taken to social media to speculate that Salaar might exist within the same universe as Prashanth's blockbuster KGF franchise, which featured Yash in the lead role. Undoubtedly, the similarities in the aesthetic and atmosphere of Salaar and KGF are apparent.
Furthermore, Salaar stars Shruti Haasan as the female lead and features Jagapathi Babu, Easwari Rao, and Sriya Reddy in significant roles. With Ravi Basrur composing the music, Bhuvan Gowda handling the cinematography, and Ujwal Kulkarni (who edited K.G.F: Chapter 2 at the age of 19) taking charge of editing, the film boasts a talented crew. Produced by Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films, Salaar is slated to hit theaters on September 28, with a release in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi languages.
Prabhas, who recently starred in Om Raut's mythological film Adipurush, will be seen next in Nag Ashwin's action thriller Project K, alongside Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan
