Director
Prashanth
Neel
today
(August
23)
took
to
his
Twitter
handle
to
unveil
a
special
update
of
his
highly
anticipated
film
Salaar.
The
KGF
helmer
shared
a
brand
new
poster
of
the
film
to
introduce
senior
actor
Jagapathi
Babu's
character
from
the
actioner.
He
will
be
seen
playing
the
role
of
Rajmanaar
in
Salaar.
Sharing
the
intriguing
poster
Prashanth
wrote,
"Introducing
#Rajamanaar.
Thank
you
@IamJagguBhai
garu
for
being
a
part
of
#Salaar."
Though
the
monochrome
poster
didn't
reveal
much
in
terms
of
plot,
it
has
surely
left
fans
in
awe.
His
deadly
appearance
also
looks
unique
as
he
dons
a
septum
nose
ring,
which
gives
more
depth
to
his
character.
Interestingly,
the
star
also
thanked
the
whole
team
for
the
first
look
poster
as
he
wrote,
"This
is
the
best
of
my
worst
look
ever.
#Salaar
Thanks
to
@prashanth_neel,
#Prabhas,
@VKiragandur,
@hombalefilms
,
and
the
entire
crew.
Really
excited
to
give
my
best
with
the
help
of
#PrashanthNeel,
I
fell
in
love
with
myself
-
ur
𝐑𝐚𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐚𝐫
forever.
"
Other
than
Jagapathi
Babu,
Salaar
will
also
feature
Prabhas
and
Shruti
Haasan
in
the
lead
roles.
The
very
talented
actor
Madhu
Guruswamy
will
be
seen
playing
a
key
role
in
the
film.
Backed
by
Vijay
Kiragandur's
Homebale
Films,
the
actioner
marks
Prashanth's
third
collaboration
with
the
production
house
after
KGF
and
KGF
2.
The
film
is
currently
slated
to
release
on
April
14,
2022,
however,
as
per
the
new
announcement,
the
director's
most-awaited
film
KGF
2,
also
known
as
KGF:
Chapter
2
will
release
on
the
date
instead
of
the
Prabhas-starrer.
However,
an
official
confirmation
is
yet
to
be
made.
On
a
related
note,
the
film's
shoot
resumed
post
lockdown
2.0.
Much
before
the
second
wave
of
the
pandemic,
the
team
had
wrapped
a
schedule
that
included
some
highlighting
sequences
of
the
film.
Touted
to
be
an
out-and-out
action
entertainer,
the
film
will
reportedly
have
Prabhas
essaying
a
double
role.
Meanwhile,
Prabhas
has
a
string
of
exciting
projects
in
his
kitty
including
Adipurush
with
Kriti
Sanon,
Project
K
with
Deepika
Padukone
and
Radhe
Shyam
with
Pooja
Hegde.
