Meanwhile, Ormax India, another leading industry tracker has also predicted Salaar box office collection for day 1 around Rs 116.8 crore in India. The numbers are inclusive all five languages. Despite facing competition from Shah Rukh Khan's comedy drama Dunki and Mohanlal's Neru in Kerala, Salaar seems poised for success. The movie is deemed mass-friendly, and its projected opening day gross in Karnataka is around Rs 12 crores, followed by Rs 4+ crores in Kerala and over Rs 3 crores in Tamil Nadu.

Interestingly, this marks the second instance where a Hombale Films' production clashes with a Shah Rukh Khan film; the first being in 2018 when KGF: Chapter 1 released alongside SRK's Zero. The film hit theaters on December 22 in Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu. Prabhas aside, Salaar also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Jagapathi Babu, Shriti Haasana and Bobby Simha in pivotal roles.
