The big-budget action thriller directed by Prashant Neel of KGF fame also features Shruti Haasan, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Eshwari Rao, Jagapati Babu and Sriya Reddy in pivotal roles. Salaar marks Prithviraj's Telugu debut as he steps into the role of the antagonist in the film.
The pan-India film has been two years in the making and has been speculated to be part of the 'KGF Universe'.
Neel dropped the first clue when the film's teaser was released at 5.12am—the precise when the boat of KGF protagonist Rocky, essayed by Yash, drowned. Fans have also been talking about the similarities in style and colour tone of the scenes in both films.
