Actor Rahul Ravindran Exclusive Interview

In recent years, social media has become a key platform for filmmakers to announce new projects and unveil promotional content. For instance, the online buzz surrounding Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next film led to Mythri Movie Makers officially confirming his collaboration with Allu Arjun. Similarly, teasers, songs, and other promotional material are increasingly being released in response to strong fan demand online.

Now, several social media handles and Prabhas fans are abuzz with reports that Prashanth Neel’s team is polishing the script for Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam, with filming expected to begin by mid next year. Fans speculate that a teaser could be released on January 25 or 26, just ahead of India’s Republic Day, a theory fueled by Hombale Films’ anniversary post, which many believe subtly hinted at the next chapter of Salaar.

At present, Prabhas is busy with two projects — Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit and Hanu Raghavapudi’s Fauji — both slated to continue shooting simultaneously this year. Spirit has already locked its release date for March 5, 2027. Considering this packed schedule, the shoot of Salaar 2 is likely to begin only after Prashanth Neel wraps his current project with NTR, Dragon.

This early announcement raises an interesting question: is revealing Salaar: Part 2 now purely fan service, or a strategic move to maintain buzz and anticipation around the franchise? Either way, the excitement among fans is palpable, keeping the Salaar universe in the spotlight well ahead of its next installment.
