Prabhas playful claims teaching SS Rajamouli direction, Prithviraj Sukumaran roast Prashanth Neel over 'final draft'- watch

Ahead of Salaar release, the makers tapped SS Rajamouli to intensify buzz around the action drama headlined by Prabhas. Hombale Films shared an intriguing glimpse of SS Rajamoul's interview with Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Prashanth Neel.

Hyderabad:The makers have taken an unconventional approach to promote Salaar by roping in ace director SS Rajamouli to amplify the buzz ahead of the film's release on December 22. Hombale Films, the production house behind Salaar, unveiled a promotional video featuring Rajamouli interviewing the Salaar trio: Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Prashanth Neel.

A nearly minute-long teaser of Rajamouli's exclusive interview with the Salaar team was shared across the makers' social media platforms. In this teaser, Rajamouli queries Prashanth about a potential link between KGF and Salaar, addressing the prevalent speculation about Salaar's connection to the KGF universe. While Prashanth's response aims to dispel these speculations, Rajamouli's playful remark, "You disappointed me," further fuels the intrigue surrounding viral theories.

In another segment, when asked about the film's dramatic elements, Prithviraj humorously jests about Prashanth's perpetual lack of a final script draft, sparking laughter among the quartet. Additionally, Prabhas's playful claim of teaching Rajamouli the art of direction, coupled with his inquiry about Baahubali 3, intensifies the anticipation for this engaging promotional interview. The full interview between Rajamouli and the Salaar team is set to premiere on Hombale Films' YouTube channel on December 19.

Meanwhile, Prabhas's Salaar is witnessing strong traction in advance ticket sales. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Salaar has already surpassed the 100K mark in advance ticket sales for its opening day in India. The film is slated to compete against Shah Rukh Khan's much-awaited film Dunki at the box office. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, SRK's movie is scheduled to hit screens on December 21.
