The makers of Prabhas' upcoming film Salaar, helmed by Prashanth Neel of KGF Chapter 2 fame, had teased a major announcement for the film for today, i.e. August 15. And as expected, their major announcement shook the internet as the new poster of Salaar was unveiled along with its release date as September 28, 2023.
Now, the mega-budget actioner is set to clash with Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter which had already locked the same release date. The film is helmed by Siddharth Anand who also makes his debut as the producer with the film as he has bankrolled Fighter, along with Viacom18 Studios, under his own banner Marflix.
It will be a battle of North vs South on the big screen as the two highly awaited films clash with each other. While Salaar also stars Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, and Prithviraj Sukumaran in pivotal roles, Hrithik and Deepika will be joined by Anil Kapoor in the aerial actioner.
On August 15, Salaar production house Hombale Films took to its social media accounts and wrote, "'Rebel'ing Worldwide on September 28, 2023" referring to Prabhas' 2012 action-film Rebel in its announcement. Even Prabhas took to his Instagram account and shared the new poster. Along with the poster, he wrote, "#TheEraOfSalaarBegins. See you at the cinemas from 28.09.2023. #Salaar".
