Prabhas’ latest film, Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire, which was helmed by Prashanth Neel, hit the silver screens on December 22nd, 2023, and has been a massive success. The film is an epic action entertainer, set in the fictional town of Khansaar, and follows the tale of two best friends.

Owing to the massive success of the film, its makers had recently organized a party, which was attended by the cast and crew of the film. Interestingly, among the attendees was Akhil Akkineni, who was not a part of the film. However, this quickly gave rise to rumors that the Agent actor will have a prominent role in the film’s second part, titled Salaar: Part 2 - Shouryaanga Parvam.
