In a candid conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Vijay Kiragandur, the driving force behind Hombale Films, revealed some captivating details about the much-anticipated Prashanth Neel directorial, ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire,’ starring the dynamic trio – Prabhas, Shruti Haasan, and Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Addressing speculations surrounding ‘Salaar’ being perceived as a remake of Prashanth’s earlier work ‘Ugramm,’ Vijay Kiragandur dispelled such notions emphatically. He affirmed that Prashanth Neel’s expertise in crafting diverse narratives, as seen in ‘Ugramm’ and ‘KGF,’ ensures that ‘Salaar’ ventures into uncharted territory, dismissing any resemblance to a mere remake.
The choice of the film’s release date, December 22, holds significance beyond the realms of conventional scheduling. Vijay elucidated how the team, guided by astrological considerations, arrived at this date despite the proximity to other film releases. Emphasizing their decade-long practice of aligning release dates with astrological auspices, the decision reflects a belief deeply rooted in their filmmaking ethos.
Set against the backdrop of the fictitious city of Khansaar, ‘Salaar’ intricately weaves a narrative showcasing Varadharaj Mannar (portrayed by Prithviraj Sukumaran), poised to ascend to power in the city. Amidst adversities and looming threats to his dominion, Varadharaj seeks aid from his childhood comrade, Deva/Salaar (enacted by Prabhas), to thwart the machinations of his enemies and reclaim control.
Jagapathi Babu essays the role of Raja Mannar, while Shruti Haasan embodies Aadhya, Salaar’s love interest, adding depth and dimension to the storyline. The recently unveiled trailer garnered a positive reception, setting the stage for heightened anticipation among eager audiences.
As ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ ventures into unexplored territories, blending stellar performances with an enigmatic storyline, the stage is set for a riveting cinematic experience. With a diverse ensemble and Prashanth Neel’s directorial prowess, ‘Salaar’ promises to captivate audiences with its gripping narrative and spellbinding visuals.
