Prabhas-starrer ‘Salaar’ filmed at iconic James Bond locations in Italy, moves to Naples

Prabhas-starrer ‘Salaar’ has been making headlines since its announcement. The film is being directed by Prashanth Neel, the man behind the blockbuster hit ‘KGF’, and produced by Vijay Kiragandur’s Hombale Films. The team behind ‘Salaar’ is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the movie is a visual treat for the audience.

The film’s shooting began in January 2021 in Hyderabad, and since then, the team has been moving from one location to another to capture breathtaking shots. In mid-March, the ‘Salaar’ team shifted location to Matera, the old southern Italian town famous for its prehistoric whitewashed caves. It is noteworthy that the action prologue for the 2021 James Bond film ‘No Time to Die’ was also shot in Matera. Several other international movies have also been shot here.

The production then moved to Naples, where the team has been preparing to film in the southern port city’s central Piazza del Plebiscito plaza. The local police have been assisting with the set preparations, which include the use of drones and lighting for night shooting. Other ‘Salaar’ locales include Rome and Budapest.

Prabhas, a pan-India star, will be seen playing a dual role in the movie, according to sources. While the plot details are still under wraps, the film is said to be about two young people from different nations who fall in love despite the distance and cultural differences, and overcome numerous challenges.

The first instalment of the thriller with a love undercurrent is set to be released internationally on September 28 in Telugu and dubbed versions in Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi and English.

Overall, ‘Salaar’ is one of the most anticipated films of the year, with fans eagerly waiting for its release. With its stunning visuals, unique storyline, and an impressive star cast, it is sure to be a blockbuster hit.
