Prabhas ‘humbled’ with Salaar becoming a ‘cultural phenomenon’

Must read

Undeniably, Prabhas’ Salaar was a major treat for his fans and, of course, a year-end gift. The movie received an A, yet the audience’s adoration is absurd. When the film was initially released, it shattered every record. Directed by Prashanth Neel, the film stars Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Shruti Haasan. The film centers on the friendship between Varadha (Prithviraj), the prince of Khansaar, and Deva (Prabhas), a tribesman, and is set in the fictional dystopian city-state of Khansaar. Varadha enlists Deva’s assistance to take Khansaar’s throne from his father’s ministers and relatives as they plot a coup.
It meets the high standards established by the people behind the well-known KGF series. The narrative centers on Salaar, a formidable, enigmatic, and rather complicated character. The film features dramatic and captivating sequences that showcase Prabhas’s acting prowess. The relationship between Prabhas and Shruti Haasan also enhances the tale and elevates the viewing experience as a whole.
After receiving such an immense response for his film, yet again, the Darling actor gleefully shares his feelings via an exclusive chat with us, and he enthuses, “Firstly, I’m grateful to my fans for making Salaar such a cultural phenomenon. I am humbled by all the responses to the film. I thank Prashanth Neel and Hombale Films for giving me this opportunity. I am immensely grateful to my fans who made this happen. Without them, I couldn’t be here, so thanks to my fans.”
The film marks his third film to join the elite Rs 500 crore club worldwide after the monumental success of Baahubali and Baahubali 2. The film’s global appeal is evident, with an overall gross of over Rs 500 crore, making it a significant player in the league of successful Indian films in 2023. In Salaar, the star has delivered some intense and impressive scenes and action sequences. Sharing some interesting insights into his approach to delivering a blockbuster performance and his preparation for the same, the Baahubali actor shares, “Prashanth and I would discuss and collaborate on the approach. The director’s input, my experience, and the character’s demands contributed to my performance. Both Prashanth and I enjoy action, and I believe the action scenes turned out well.”
In a recent interview, producer Vijay Kiragandur was seen speaking about Salaar 2. He said, “The script of Salaar 2 is ready and we will start the film any time. Prabhas wants to take it on floors as soon as possible and even Prashanth wants to do it. We have been speaking about Salaar 2 and our discussion in the last 2 to 3 days was to make the film in the next 15 months. We will definitely release Salaar 2 in 2025, which is about 18 months from now,”
“Salaar is a celebration for Prabhas fans across the globe. We are more than satisfied with the numbers and reactions. Yes, there are some negatives but no one has complained regarding the making, scale, and drama. People got to see Prabhas as an angry young man for the first time in 20 years,” he shared, adding further, “Prabhas is also in complete celebration mode and is asking about the schedule of part two. He is very happy with the film and wants to start Salaar 2 soon.”
Further, the producer promises an even bigger cinematic experience with Salaar 2, he said, “Salaar 1 is just a glimpse of part two. You can treat it as a trailer and part two will be a lot bigger in terms of action and scale. Prashanth introduced all the characters in the first part and now, Salaar 2 will be like Game of Thrones with a lot of drama, politics, and action. The cliffhanger you have seen now – there will be many more in the sequel.”
Interestingly, Salaar 2 will be the story of the impact of the political scenario in Khansaar due to two of the best friends – Prabhas and Prithviraj, who will be turning biggest enemies.
At present, the actor is waiting for the January 12, 2024, release of the movie Kalki AD 2898.
The formal release schedule, however, has not yet been disclosed by the producers because the movie’s marketing and trailer debut have not yet taken place.
