Prabhas starrer Salaar resumes shoot in Hyderabad after release delay

The release of the Prabhas-led big banner action flick Salaar was abruptly shifted indefinitely with an announcement from the makers. The news came two weeks before the initially scheduled release of the film in late September. Reports now suggest that shooting for the film has resumed in Hyderabad.

3 things you need to know

• Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire was initially slated for a worldwide release on September 28.
• On September 13, the makers of the film officially announced on September 13 that Salaar release stands delayed due to "unforseen circumstances".
• Besides Salaar, Prabhas is also gearing up for the release of Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD.

Salaar resumes shoot in Hyderabad

As per a report by Manobala Vijayabalan, Salaar has resumed a final shooting schedule, currently underway in Hyderabad. A 123telugu.com report suggests that the schedule, which is reportedly eight days long, does not involve Prabhas. What this news also implies is that the film is likely to not release this year.

Previous reports had suggested that Salaar had concluded filming in April with September 28 as its release date. Hombale Films, the production house bankrolling the Prashanth Neel directorial, had officially announced that the release date had been pushed due to delays in post-production. The ongoing shoot is reportedly for a "newly introduced scene" in the climax, as per Manobala's X post. 

Prabhas has several big banner releases lined up

Prabhas last starred in Om Raut's mythological magnum opus Adipurush which was a modernised take on the epic of Ramayana. While the high-octane action film Salaar was supposed to be his next release of the year, the film currently stands indefinitely delayed.

Next in line is Nag Ashwin's futuristic film with mythological elements, Kalki 2898 AD, scheduled to release on January 12, next year. More so, if rumours are to be believed, Prabhas may just star as Lord Shiva opposite Nayanthara's Parvati in Vishnu Manchu's Kannappa.
