Salaar Premise

Salaar Part 1- Ceasefire is the story set against the backdrop of a fictional kingdom called Khansaar. It is the tale of two best friends from childhood, who grow old to become the worst enemies. The story was so big that the writer-director chose to elaborate it in two parts. Deva aka Salaar and Varadaraj Mannar's story of friendship, trust, sacrifice, and vengeance is all about Salaar.

The first part of Salaar Ceasefire will showcase the friendship between Deva and Varadaraj Mannar. The world of Salaar is set up against the backdrop of Khansaar, a fictional city.

Director Prashanth Neel Opens About Salaar & Its Connection To Ugramm

Speaking in an interview, director Prashanth Neel opened up about Salaar being a remake of Ugramm, his earlier superhit film. While several say that Salaar is a remake of Ugramm, the director differs. Elaborating further, Prashanth revealed that he wanted Ugramm's success to be as big as KGF.

Partly agreeing to the criticism that Ugramm's storyline is medlied with KGF's style of cinematic universe, Prashanth clarified, "Salaar is not a direct remake but an adaptation of the same with significant adjustment to suit the characters Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran played in Salaar." He also said that he would take that comparison as a compliment.
