Earlier, the makers decided to withdraw screening their film in PVR INOX and Miraj Cinemas theatres in the south owing to undue favours to Dunki over the Prabhas-starrer. A spokesperson for Hombale Films said the multiplex chain did not honour their promise that they would get equal showcasing as Shah Rukh Khan starrer. Despite that, the film’s advance booking has paint a promising picture. Meanwhile, Dunki, which was released on Thursday(December 21, 2023), had an everage opening of Rs 30 crore. Salaar will easily surpass Dunki’s opening collection today as per reports.
Directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Vijay Kiragandur under the banner Hombale Films, the film is set in the fictional city of Khansaar and follows the gripping tale of two friends turned arch-rivals, played by Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran as Deva and Vardha respectively. The film also stars Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Tinnu Anand., Easwari Rao, Madhu Guruswamy and Chandu Kanuri among others.
