The filmmakers took to social media to share this news, stating, "We deeply appreciate your unwavering support for #Salaar. With consideration, we must delay the original September 28 release due to unforeseen circumstances."
The decision to postpone the release was made with great care, as the team is dedicated to delivering an exceptional cinematic experience.
Post-production work is underway to ensure the highest standards are met, and the new release date will be announced in due course. Fans are urged to stay tuned for updates as the team puts the finishing touches on #SalaarCeaseFire.
Reason behind the delay
Reports circulating on the internet and social media suggest that the delay is attributed to the filmmakers' desire to shoot a special dance number featuring a star actress alongside Prabhas. This dance sequence is expected to be a significant highlight of Salaar Part 1 Ceasefire.
Because of Prabhas' recent knee surgery and consequent need for rest, filming of this song may be delayed until he fully recovers. However, no formal confirmation of this recent change has been provided.
Director Prashanth Neel is known for his commitment to delivering top-notch quality in his films, and he is keen on ensuring that no detail is overlooked, especially when it comes to Prabhas' Salaar.
Speculations about the new release date
While there is no official announcement regarding the revised release date, Tollywood's unofficial social media accounts have been buzzing with speculations. A tentative date that has gained traction among fans is "Friday, 22nd December, 2023."
The stellar cast of Salaar
Salaar boasts an ensemble cast with significant roles portrayed by acclaimed actors. Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran takes on the role of the antagonist, Varadharaja Mannaar. Jagapathi Babu plays Raja Mannaar, while Shruti Haasan shines as the female lead, Aadya.
The movie also features a stellar supporting cast, including Tinnu Anand, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy, Ramachandra Raju, Madhu Guruswamy, Saptagiri, Prudhvi Raj, Jhansi, Brahmaji, Naga Mahesh, Dubbaka Bhaskar Rao, and Gemini Suresh.
As Salaar Part 1 Ceasefire undergoes final preparations, fans eagerly await the announcement of the new release date, hoping for an unforgettable cinematic experience.
