"I am a big Prashanth Neel fan and I would have been disappointed had I seen his next film after KGF 2, which opens in a tulip field in Amsterdam. It is not something that I expect from him. It is too premature for the audience because 10 minutes into Salaar people will forget all the comparisons. Salaar is much bigger and grander than KGF 2." - Prithviraj Sukumaran on Salaar-KGF comparisons

Describing the film's atmosphere, Prithviraj likened it to the grandeur of Game of Thrones. He remarked on the immersive nature of the sets, emphasizing how the movie engulfs audiences in its world. Besides the spectacular action sequences and hero moments, Prithviraj highlighted the film's gripping drama as its standout feature, contributing significantly to its overall impact.
