Prabhas-starrer 'Salaar' to hit the screens on April 14, 2022

'Salaar' is an actioner that revolves around the journey of a violent man

Hombale Film, the production house behind actor Prabhas' upcoming movie Salaar, announced on Sunday that the magnum opus will be releasing in theatres on April 14 next year. The actioner has created a fair deal of buzz among fans as it marks the mass hero's first collaboration with KGF director Prashanth Neel.

Salaar features 'Darling' in the role of a dangerous man and has a violent storyline that may click with the aam janta. It stars Shruti Haasan as the leading lady and is likely to be a gamechanger for the actor. There have also been talks of Bollywood star Disha Patani essaying a key role in the biggie.

A few websites had recently reported that Salaar is a remake of Prashanth's popular Kannada movie Ugramm. The director, however, dismissed the rumours and clarified that the movie's story has been written keeping Prabhas in mind.
