Hyderabad: Superstar Prabhas' highly anticipated movie Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire was slated for a worldwide theatrical release this Christmas on December 22, as confirmed by film trade insiders. While the film was reported to clash with the Shah Rukh Khan starrer film Dunki at the box office, new reports suggest that the battle will not take place. The Prashanth Neel directorial is not looking at a release this year.
According to buzz in the trade, there is very little chance that Salaar will clash with Dunki. Firstly, according to the report, several scenes that don't require Prabhas are being reshot. Secondly, why would they choose to release Salaar on the same day as a Shah Rukh Khan film, especially when Jawaan, which was a blockbuster in Telugu? According to reports, Salaar will not hit the theatres before 2024. Therefore, the purported clash is unlikely to occur.
