Prashanth Neel Begins Pre-Production for Salaar Sequel
Prashanth Neel is the director of a big action movie called Salaar.
That movie came out in 2023 and was a major hit.
Now he is getting ready to make a second part, called Salaar 2.
Before that, he was working on another movie called Dragon with an actor named Jr NTR.
Jr NTR hurt his shoulder and had to have surgery.
Doctors told him to rest in bed for six months, so filming for Dragon had to stop.
With some free time, Prashanth Neel met with Vijay Kiragandur, the founder of Hombale Films, the company that made Salaar.
They began the early planning work, called pre-production, for Salaar 2.
Some people online say about twenty percent of the filming is already done.
The new movie is expected to come out around the middle of 2029.
Director Prashanth Neel has officially begun pre-production for Salaar 2, the sequel to Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire.
Pre-production started after Jr NTR was advised six months of bed rest following shoulder surgery, halting work on their project Dragon.
Prashanth Neel reunited with Hombale Films founder Vijay Kiragandur to prepare the next chapter in the Salaar franchise.
Social media reports indicate about twenty percent of the film's total shooting is already complete, including childhood sequences.
Salaar 2 is expected to hit theaters by mid-2029.
