"Baahubali 2" held the record as the all-time number one hit in the Telugu states until two years ago. Last year, "RRR" shattered records and set new ones.
Now, the highly anticipated gangster drama "Salaar" directed by Prashanth Neel and starring Prabhas is set to make its mark, and we eagerly await whether it can surpass the success of "RRR."
"Salaar" will be released in two parts, with the first installment hitting theaters on September 28, 2023.
The recently released teaser has already garnered over 100 million views, showcasing the immense excitement surrounding the film.
As a result, the pre-release business is expected to break new records.
According to our sources, the producers are demanding a higher price compared to "RRR" for the distribution rights.
Despite the mixed reception of "Adipurush," the producers of "Salaar" have a different approach.
When a disaster film like "Adipurush" collects more than Rs 40 crore in Nizam region, "Salaar," directed by none other than the "KGF" director, will have no bounds.
This optimistic outlook has led them to quote higher prices, or prices on par with "RRR," in every region of the Telugu states.
The release date for "Salaar" is set for September 28, 2023, and the film will enjoy the advantage of a four-day holiday weekend, which is expected to contribute to a strong opening weekend.
