Is ‘Salaar 2’ Shelved By Neel & Prabhas?

Following a string of unsuccessful films, Prabhas’ action saga “Salaar Part 1,” directed by Prashanth Neel, emerged as a box-office triumph in December last year. While the film exceeded expectations, garnering over ₹725 crore, it fell short of the coveted ₹1 billion mark due to limited promotions and competition from Shah Rukh Khan’s “Dunki.” Produced by Hombale Films, “Salaar Part 1” was hailed by fans as Prabhas’ best work since the epic “Baahubali.”

The film’s narrative was left unresolved, prompting the announcement of a sequel titled “Salaar 2: Shouryangaparvam.” However, the project’s status has become shrouded in uncertainty.

Recent rumors suggest a possible cancellation of “Salaar 2” due to alleged creative differences between Prabhas and Prashanth Neel. Furthermore, Prabhas’ current commitments to films like “Kalki,” “Raja Saab,” and “Spirit” create scheduling conflicts. Neel’s upcoming project with NTR Jr. further complicates matters.

Mythri Movie Makers, the production company behind “Salaar 2,” reportedly struggles to accommodate both the lead actor and director’s busy schedules. The potential shelving of the project appears increasingly likely.

For the sake of clarity, here’s a breakdown of the cast and crew for “Salaar Part 1”:

Prabhas as Devaratha
Prithviraj Sukumaran as Varadharaja Mannar
Shruti Haasan
Jagapathi Babu
Shriya Reddy as Radha Rama
Eeswari Rao as Prabhas’ mother

Director: Prashanth Neel
Production Company: Hombale Films
Music Composer: Ravi Basrur
Director of Photography: Bhuvan Gowda

The future of “Salaar 2: Shouryangaparvam” remains uncertain. With rumors of creative clashes and scheduling difficulties, fans will have to wait and see if the project comes to fruition.
