The three-minute 47-second-long Salaar trailer introduces the violent world set in a fictitious city named Khansaar. As depicted in the Salaar trailer, the movie narrates the tale of two friends turned arch-enemies, with friendship serving as the pivotal emotion in Salaar. The filmmakers plan to unfold half of this narrative in Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, tracing the journey of these friends across two installments.
Initially announced in 2020, the film faced a few delays due to the pandemic but is now ready for release later this month. The majority of the filming took place at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad. Additionally, scenes were captured at Singaneri Mines, located 5 hours away from Hyderabad. The filming locations extended to South Ports, Mangalore Port, Vizag Port, and a segment was also shot in Europe. The comprehensive shoot spanned approximately 114 days.

Apart from Prabhas, Salaar features Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Easwari Rao, and Sriya Reddy in significant roles. The trailer introduces Prithviraj Sukumaran as the formidable antagonist. Ravi Basrur has composed the music, Bhuvan Gowda is the cinematographer, and Ujwal Kulkarni, who edited K.G.F: Chapter 2 at the young age of 19, is handling the editing.
Bankrolled by Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films, the movie is slated to hit theatres on December 22 across Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi languages. It's expected to clash with Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki at Mohanlal's Neru at the box office. Although these three films belong to different genres, Dunki is riding high on SRK's recent blockbuster successes like Pathaan and Jawan. It'll be intriguing to observe how Salaar fares against the SRK wave. Despite his nationwide popularity, recent setbacks at the box office coupled with Adipurush debacle have certainly dented the brand Prabhas.
While Salaar has been generating substantial buzz since its inception, the makers chose to reveal the trailer close to the film's release date. Interestingly, the team behind Dunki unveiled a soulful song, Nikle The Kabhi Hum Ghar Se, earlier today as part of their promotional strategy.
