The story of 'Salaar' surrounds Prabhas and Prithviraj's character. "The crux of the story is very much between Prabhas's character and mine," says Sukumaran in an interview with Variety. "I deem it a privilege that somebody like Prashanth Neel post ‘K.G.F: Chapter 2' [the third highest grossing film in the history of Indian cinema] thought it was worth waiting for me to be able to join the film. And I'm glad I made that decision to finally say yes to it, because having shot for a few days, I think it might just be one of those epic cinematic experiences. So, I'm really looking forward to ‘Salaar' as much as an actor, as I'm as a film lover."

"There are multiple reasons why ‘Salaar' would be a no-brainer for anybody to say yes to - it's a Prashanth Neel film, a Hombale Films [the K.G.F. franchise] production and it is Prabhas' film. It is Prabhas' return to mainstream mass commercial cinema after a while. His films post ‘Saaho' have been slightly away from the mass action genre," he added.

'Salaar' marks Prithviraj's first collaboration with director Prashant Neel, who is also the brain behind the successful 'KGF' franchise. Prithviraj, to, his credit is one of the biggest stars from the Malayalam film industry. Apart from acting in several Malayalam hits, the actor has also directed Lucifer starring Mohanlal which broke records at the Kerala box office.

Directed by Prashanth Neel under Hombale Films banner, ‘Salaar' co-stars Prabhas, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu in key roles. The action thriller is slated to hit the screens on 28 September 2023.
