Fans
and
followers
of
Prabhas
are
going
gaga
over
the
latest
announcement
by
KGF
production
banner
Hombale
Films.
The
Rebel
Star
is
all
set
to
join
hands
with
the
celebrated
director
Prashanth
Neel.
The
first
look
poster
of
the
film
along
with
the
title
was
unveiled
today.
Touted
to
be
an
action-thriller,
the
film
has
been
titled
Salaar.
Though
a
section
of
social
media
users
expressed
their
disappointment
with
the
announcement,
stating
that
the
director
was
doing
injustice
to
the
Sandalwood
industry
by
giving
the
opportunity
to
a
Telugu
actor
instead
of
a
Kannada
hero,
looks
like
Puneeth
Rajkumar
has
a
different
approach
to
the
scenario.
Upon
the
announcement,
the
Raajakumara
actor
took
to
his
social
media
handle
to
welcome
the
Rebel
Star
to
the
Kannada
Film
Industry.
Sharing
the
intriguing
poster
of
the
film
featuring
Prabhas,
the
superstar
wrote,
"#SALAAR
THE
MOST
VIOLENT
MEN..
CALLED
ONE
MAN..
THE
MOST
VIOLENT!!
With
open
arms,
ನಮ್ಮ
ಕನ್ನಡ
ನಾಡಿಗೆ,
I
welcome
you
home
#Prabhas.
@hombalefilms
@VKiragandur
@prashanth_neel."
Interestingly,
Prabhas
also
welcomed
Puneeth
Rajkumar
to
the
Telugu
Film
Industry,
after
the
former's
film
Yuvarathnaa's
Telugu
version
was
announced
before
Salaar's
announcement.
The
pan-India
star
took
to
his
Facebook
handle
to
congratulate
the
team
and
shared
a
song
titled
'Power
of
Youth'
and
wrote,
"Welcoming
Puneeth
Rajkumar
to
the
Telugu
Film
Industry.
My
best
wishes
to
the
entire
team
of
Yuvarathnaa."
Coming
back
to
Salaar,
the
highly
awaited
film
is
backed
by
Vijay
Kiragandur
under
his
production
banner
Hombale
Films
and
is
scheduled
for

on
