Prabhas, the star of the epic “Baahubali” franchise, has delivered a massive hit with “Salaar Part 1,” marking his first major commercial success in five years. Directed by Prashanth Neel, known for the blockbuster “KGF” chapter, the action-packed saga has left fans ecstatic.

However, despite exceeding expectations and grossing over ₹725 crore at the box office, “Salaar Part 1” fell short of the coveted ₹1000 crore mark. This is attributed to two factors: a lack of extensive promotions and competition from another highly anticipated film, “Dunki.” Produced by Hombale Films, “Salaar Part 1” generated immense pre-release buzz and was hailed by fans as Prabhas’ best work since “Baahubali.”

Despite the film’s commercial success, a recurring criticism from fans centers on Prabhas’ limited dialogue. While acknowledging that the actor’s voice may have undergone changes, audiences craved his signature powerful dialogues. Reports suggest that all of Prabhas’ spoken lines in “Salaar Part 1” could fit on a single page.

In response to this feedback, sources claim that both Prabhas and director Prashanth Neel are committed to rectifying this issue in “Salaar Part 2.” Neel is reportedly incorporating a significant amount of impactful dialogue for Prabhas in the sequel, much to the excitement of fans. The official production start date for “Salaar Part 2” remains unconfirmed.

The supporting cast of “Salaar Part 1” boasts prominent names from the South Indian film industry. Prithviraj Sukumaran portrays Varadharaja Mannar, while Prabhas takes on the role of Devaratha. Shruti Haasan plays a pivotal character who witnesses a crucial flashback sequence. Jagapathi Babu portrays Prithviraj’s father, and Shriya Reddy takes on the role of Radha Rama. Eeswari Rao portrays Prabhas’ mother in this pan-Indian film. The technical team includes music composer Ravi Basrur and cinematographer Bhuvan Gowda.

‘Kalki 2898 AD’ is one film for which the entire nation is waiting for. There are giant expectations on this movie and there is a lot of discussion about this visual spectacle that will hit the screens on 27th June 2024. The stalwarts of the Indian film industry such as Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan, Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani are doing lead roles in this movie.

While Prabhas is playing the lead role of Bhairava in the movie, the team introduced Amitabh Bachchan as Ashwatthama. People are eagerly waiting for more updates and the recent news we hear is that Deepika Padukone has finished her dubbing. Being a Kannada girl, the Bollywood star actress reportedly dubbed for her character in Hindi and Kannada languages.

This is good news as the team will be completing the dubbing works one after the other. Apparently, Deepika will take an active part in promotions too despite being pregnant. As we know, Prabhas will be seen as Vishnu’s avatar Kalki and the director is reportedly planning to use Mahesh’s voice to introduce the hero character. Ashwini Dutt is the movie’s producer. Santosh Narayanan is the music composer while Djordje Stojilijkovic is the director of photography.

Sree Vishnu is known for his unique story selection. His movies have novel ideas which is why he is appreciated by many. He made a strong comeback with a super hit fun film like ‘Samajavaragamana’ and continued his successful run with another entertainer like ‘Om Bheem Bush’. It looks like the actor is in no mood to stop as he is signing projects back to back.

Whilst he announced his 18th film under the Geetha Arts banner, Sree Vishnu is working on an investigative thriller. This is his 17th film and around 60% of the shooting has been completed. He also announced a project under the direction of Janaki Ram Marella. Not stopping there, he has reportedly given his green signal to another project and it is going to be his 20th film.
Nandu, who worked as a writer for ‘Samajavaragamana’ is turning into a director with this film. Apparently, Sree Vishnu immensely liked the script narrated by Nandu and the official announcement is expected to arrive soon. Anil Sunkara will be producing this film under the AK Entertainments banner.

If things fall in place, the shooting will commence at the start of next year. Vishnu is done with the shooting of ‘SWAG’ and Hasit Goli is the director. People Media Factory is bankrolling this project. It looks like Sree Vishnu is on a signing spree.

Suchitra Pillai, an actress currently starring in “The Broken News 2” alongside Jaideep Ahlawat and Sonali Bendre, has addressed misconceptions about her personal life. She has been labelled a “boyfriend snatcher” in the past, but maintains this is untrue.

Pillai is married to Lars Kjeldsen, who previously dated actress Preity Zinta. Pillai clarifies, “No, that’s another story from somebody else. Preity and I were never friends, we were acquaintances because we had a common friend.”

She confirms Kjeldsen dated Zinta before they met, stating, “But, yes, Lars Kjeldsen did date Preity Zinta for some time but that was the breakup he had before he met me and only this part is true. I didn’t come between them, they split up for a totally different reason.”

Pillai elaborates on a different misunderstanding, “The big news that happened, which was a big misunderstanding, it was not because of me. It happened at the time I came back from England, I was called a ‘boyfriend snatcher’ on the cover of several magazines. The headline read, ‘Suchitra Pillai is a boyfriend snatcher.'”

This accusation stemmed from her relationship with Andrew Coyne, who founded Star Television in India. Pillai clarifies, “This was the relationship in question, but it was not because of me that Andrew and his partner and model Achala Sachdev fell apart. It is water under the bridge after many years and Archala and I have a laugh about it.”

For context, Preity Zinta married Gene Goodenough in 2016 and had twins via surrogacy in 2021. Suchitra Pillai and Lars Kjeldsen married in 2005 and have a daughter, Annika Kjeldsen. Pillai is known for her role in the successful film “Dil Chahta Hai.”
