Is Shruti Haasan playing a journalist in Prabhas-starrer ‘Salaar’?

'Salaar' is touted to be an actioner and will be released in multiple languages

Actor Shruti Haasan will soon be seen alongside pan-India hero Prabhas in the actioner Salaar, which has created a great deal of buzz among fans. According to a report carried by Cinejosh, the Balupu star will be playing the role of a political journalist in the biggie. Her character will cross paths with ‘Darling’ during the course of the film, adding a new dimension to the film.

Salaar is being directed by Kannada filmmaker Prashant Neel, who wielded the microphone for the 2018 blockbuster KGF. It reportedly revolves around what happens when a mechanic locks horns with some highly powerful people. The film may have shades of the filmmaker’s maiden directorial venture Ugramm. There were talks of Disha Patani, the star of films such as MS Dhoni and Malang, being a part of Salaar but that may not happen. The film is expected to hit the screens next year.
