Salaar Part 2 put on hold?
Prabhas recently featured in the fantasy comedy movie, The Raja Saab. Despite the star’s massive fan following, the Maruthi film didn’t do great business at the box office. Soon after, a report by Deccan Chronicle suggested that the film is put on the back burner.
An insider close to the project told the above-mentioned publication that both director Prashanth Neel and Prabhas have decided to completely revamp Salaar 2. “What worked three years ago won’t work now. The project is being altered to cater to changed audiences’ tastes,” said the source. The report disappointed many and created speculations around the future of the film.
But on actress Shruti Haasan’s birthday, the maker dropped a post, putting all speculations to rest. The official Instagram handle of the movie dropped a picture featuring Haasan and Prabhas in which the actress can be seen showing him the phone screen. Captioning the happy image, the makers wrote, “Aadya showing Deva what happens to her in #Salaar2!! With this post, the team indirectly announced that Salaar Part 2 is in the making.
