About Salaar Part 2

Salaar Part 2: Shouryanga Parvam is expected to pick off where Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire left off. The film tells the story of two childhood friends – Deva (Prabhas) and Varadha (Prithviraj) – turned foes. Salaar is set in the fictional city of Khansaar and also stars Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy, Bobby Simha and others in key roles. The sequel is expected to release sometime in 2025.

Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire released in theatres on December 22 last year and clashed with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki. The film still managed to hold its own and made ₹715 crore at the box office, according to the makers. Salaar also received favourable reviews from the audience and critics.

Prashanth also has a film with Jr NTR lined up, which will go on floors after Koratala Siva’s Devara: Part 1 wraps up. Prabhas is shooting for a film with Maruthi titled The Raja Saab and one with Nag Ashwin titled Kalki 2898 AD.
