The news of Salaar's postponement has surely come as a huge shocker to movie buffs across India. The stage seemed perfectly set for the film to arrive in cinemas on September 28 with the trailer expected to drop in the first week of the same month. However, owing to certain constraints that are yet to be disclosed by Prashanth Neel & Co. it emerged only a couple of days ago that the makers are no longer in the position to release the film as planned.
Of course, many would know that this is the second deferral on the release date as back in 2021, the team announced that the film would release on April 14, 2022. That particular slot would then be taken up by KGF 2, which went on to be a monumental success for not just Yash but also Hombale Films and writer-director Prashanth Neel.
At the time, the makers hadn't billed Salaar as a two-part film and the same speculations began to surface only much later, until the recently-released teaser confirmed the same. The first part of the Prabhas starrer is titled 'Ceasefire' and was scheduled to release on September 28 with the second part expected to go on floors sometime in early 2024.
So, what's the latest Salaar release date? According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who broke the news recently, the team is now aiming for a November 2023 release but the exact date isn't finalized yet. Hombale Films, who still haven't made a formal announcement about the postponement, have remained mum thus far but the latest reports, in this vein, suggest that the last Friday of November could be the new chosen date.
A popular Telugu media outlet writes that Hombale Films could bring the film out in theatres on November 24. Again, neither the production house, Prashanth Neel nor Prabhas have spoken about this change in plans yet.
Salaar also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, Sriya Reddy, Jagapathi Babu, Pramod Panju, Easwari Rao and several others. Prashanth Neel's regular collaborators - cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda, music composer Ravi Basrur and art director Shivakumar - return to handle their respective duties.
