There have been many theories around the delay surrounding Salaar, but it’s widely believed that VFX work is one of the reasons that the film was pushed to a later date.

As per an overseas ticket booking portal, Salaar is set in a war-torn city, where the protagonist is caught between the promise he makes to his mother and his loyalty to a friend.
