Salaar: Prabhas teams up with KGF director Prashanth Neel

We had previously reported that Hombale Films, which produced KGF, will be teaming up once again with the film's director Prashanth Neel. It is now known that the upcoming film is titled Salaar and will star Prabhas in the lead. The first look was released earlier today and it features Prabhas with a thick moustache, wielding a machine gun. 

In a statement, the film's producer Vijay Kiragandur said, "After the success of our first pan-Indian film, KGF: Chapter 1, and on the verge of completing our second pan-Indian film, KGF: Chapter 2, we at Hombale Films are proud to announce our third pan-Indian film Salaar. The filming of this project is scheduled to start in January 2021 and the release is slotted to happen after Prabhas' Radhe Shyam."

Salaar will mark Hombale Films' seventh venture. It will be released simultaneously in five languages — Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi.

Other than this, the production house also has the Puneeth Rajkumar-starrer Yuvaratnaa and KGF Chapter II currently under production.

While Prashanth is awaiting the release of K.G.F: Chapter II, Prabhas recently wrapped up the first schedule of Radhe Shyam in Italy. Touted to be a love story set in Europe, Radhe Shyam also stars Pooja Hegde, Jayaram, Sachin Khedekar, Priyadarshi, Bhagyashree, Murali Sharma, and Sathyan Sivakumar
