ABOUT ‘SALAAR’
“Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire” is a 2023 Indian Telugu-language epic action film written and directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Vijay Kiragandur. Starring Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, with a supporting cast including Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Bobby Simha, Tinnu Anand, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy, and Ramachandra Raju, the film unfolds the tale of friendship between Deva (Prabhas) and Vardha (Prithviraj), the prince of the city-state Khansar. When a coup d’état is plotted by his father’s ministers, Vardha seeks Deva’s assistance to claim undisputed rule over Khansaar.
Originating from Neel’s debut film “Ugramm,” the film is the first installment of a two-part series. Initially announced in December 2020 as “Salaar,” the official title was later revealed in July 2023 as “Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire.” Principal photography began in January 2021 in Telangana, extending to Hyderabad and Italy, concluding in early December 2023. With music by Ravi Basrur, cinematography by Bhuvan Gowda, and editing by Ujwal Kulkarni, the film hit Indian theaters on 22 December 2023 in both standard and IMAX formats. A sequel, “Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam,” is currently in development.
As previously reported, this movie unfolds in two parts: ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ and ‘Shouryaanga Parvam.’ Prabhas takes on the role of Deva, with Prithviraj Sukumaran portraying Varadharaja Mannar, Jagapathi Babu as Rajamannar, and Shruti Haasan as Aadya.
‘Salaar: Part One – Ceasefire’ captivates audiences in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. It faces stiff competition from Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dunki’ at the box office as the film continues to soar to new heights in the cinematic realm.
In the city-state of Khansaar in 1985, Devaratha “Deva” and Vardharaja “Vardha” Mannar, the son of Khansaar’s king Raja Mannar, share an unbreakable bond of friendship. However, when Raja Mannar orders the extermination of the Shouryanga clan in Khansaar, Deva and his mother become unintended casualties in the conflict. In a selfless act, Vardha relinquishes his claim over Khansaar’s territory as a form of payment to spare their lives. As they part ways, Deva assures Vardha that he will be there whenever Vardha calls upon him.
