Salaar Movie Review Live Updates: Parbhas' action thriller is out in cinemas.Prabhas Salaar Release and Review Live Updates: KGF fame Prashanth Neel is back with another crime, action thriller. Titled Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire, the film led by Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, hits the theatres on December 22. It is set in the crime-ridden fictional city of Khansaar, where Varadha Raja Mannar, portrayed by Prithviraj, gets into a fierce battle to claim the city’s lordship. Salaar, played by Prabhas, joins his friend in combating enemies to help him become the city’s ruler.
Salaar also stars Tinu Anand, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu, among others. It is releasing in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi, Kannada, and Hindi. It is up for a cinematic clash with Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki, which has hit the theatres on Thursday. Both films are fighting to get the maximum screens in the theatres. However, Salaar has an upper hand in the advance bookings and is expected to get a bigger opening than Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki.
Ever since the trailer of Salaar was released, debates have been rife regarding the alleged glorification of on-screen violence in the film. But the film’s director Neel believes that filmmakers downplay violence in movies. During an interaction with Galatta Plus, he said, “Look at what is happening around the world today. It’s all real. We feel that cinema is an exaggeration… But if you see what is happening in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, you know that we are probably underplaying it in our movies. The reality is out there. We are not using violence to say that it is good. We always show a hero using violence to bring down bad people. There is a moral to it.”
In one of his other interviews, Neel clarified that if Salaar is categorised as a mass movie, it’s solely due to the film’s underlying emotion. He added that the violence depicted in the film is limited to what its emotion demands.

She added, "Till the violence in Prabhas-Prithviraj-starrer is comic-book and ‘Games Of Thrones’-type stylised, you can find a way to rationalise it; the trouble ratchets up when it becomes more ‘real’."

He is blessed with that face.”

Prithviraj on box-office clash with Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki and Mohanlal's Neru
Addressing the box office clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Mohanlal’s Neru, Prithviraj said, “Before an actor and a filmmaker, I am a film lover. I love it that for this holiday season I have three films made by three iconic filmmakers, starring three of the biggest stars, to watch. I am a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan, Rajkumar Hirani, Jeethu Joseph and Mohanlal sir. I love Prashanth Neel and I think Salaar is an amazing film. I am going to see all three films. I hope you are too.”
Prithviraj says Prabhas ‘doesnt know how big he is’
Speaking about working with Prabhas, Prithviraj told Bollywood Hungama, “Prabhas is one of the biggest stars of the country and probably the only person who does not know that is him. He is the nicest guy. Either he really does not know or he is putting up a brilliant performance. He does not know how big he is. I have spent 100 days with him and he checked on me everyday. He would ask, ‘Shall I send some food? Are you okay?’ and he would ask this every actor on set.”
Prabhas on emergence of 'pan-India' films post Baahubali
Salaar actor Prabhas recently reacted to Baahubali being hailed for introducing the ‘pan-India’ tag to films.

It also feels like a significant moment to be part of this transition, fostering a healthy exchange of culture and stories and contributing to the collaborative growth of both industries.”
Prashanth Neel on Salaar being compared to KGF
Ever since the film’s promotional material released a few months ago, audiences started linking Salaar and KGF because the filmmaker chose the same colour palette for Salaar and KGF.
Reacting to this, Prashanth Neel, in a promotional event, said, “Salaar has nothing to do with KGF. In fact, it wasn’t even a conscious choice to make them look the same. I just wanted to show how dark and gritty the world they live in is.”
Prashanth Neel on Salaar getting an ‘A’ certificate
Director Prashanth Neel recently reacted to his film Salaar, starring Prabhas, being awarded an ‘A’ certificate by the CBFC.
While chatting with SS Rajamouli, he said, “I’ve seen Telugu cinema for years now and the violence in my film is pale compared to that. The idea was never to make a film so violent it gets an A. But the guidelines have changed and the censor board asked me to make certain cuts. I got so quiet when they said that because I didn’t make a vulgar movie.”
'Salaar is a mix of Ulgraam and KGF': Prashanth Neel
Director Prashanth Neel recently revealed that Salaar is a mix of his 2014 Kannada film Ulgraam and his hit film franchise KGF.
He told India Today, “I always envisioned the audience watching Ulgramm in a packed theatre. It wasn’t fulfilled during its release. The film was pirated within 20 days of release. Despite KGF’s success, I couldn’t move forward without doing justice to that story.”
"Ugramm holds a special place in my heart. I wanted it to reach the heights of KGF. I don’t see it (Salaar) as a remake though. I’ve made changes to it to suit Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Some might criticise that it’s a mix of Ugramm’s story and KGF’s style of making, but I will take it as a compliment, as both are my films,” he added.
