NEW DELHI: A new poster of the highly anticipated film 'Salaar', which has been directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Vijay Kiragandur under the Hombale Films banner featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran has been released by the makers today. As actor Prithviraj turns a year older, the makers took today as an opportunity to wish their star member and to introduce a new character from the film 'Salaar'. 

The magnitude of the character required an individual like Prithviraj who will be seen playing the character of Vardharaja Mannaar in the film. Him being the superstar from the Malayalam industry brings on an aura that can effectively influence the story of 'Salaar'. 

While the makers are now here with the first look of Prithviraj from the film, it has come as an absolute wonder to watch his magnanimous aura. While his character of Vardharaja will be equal to that of Prabhas in the film, it will bring a great drama between these two stars that will be the highlight for the audience to watch out for in the film.

While speaking about Prithviraj's character, director Prashanth Neel said "Having such a superstar like Prithviraj in the film is an absolute pleasure. We couldn't have had a better Vardharaja Mannaar. The way he played such an enormous character in the film justifies his magnificent presence with his brilliant performance. The drama is surly going to be insane having him in the movie. Being a superstar of the Malayalam industry he has a huge fan base who will be truly mesmerized to see him playing such a huge character on the screen. It was an amazing experience to direct two great actors like Prithviraj and Prabhas together in the film."

After the Box Office success of 'KGF Chapter 2', Prashanth Neel and Homebale’s next film 'Salaar' has become one of the most awaited movies in the Indian film industry as it unites the filmmaker with the 'Baahubali' star Prabhas. The excitement amongst the fans for 'Salaar' has increased with each passing day, especially with two powerhouse artists coming together. Netizens are thrilled to watch Prabhas and Prashant Neel working together for this one. 

While 'Salaar' is big in itself, it becomes even more promising with Prashanth Neel, India's most sought-after director directing it. Post the success of the 'KGF' franchise, Prashanth is certainly one of the biggest Pan India directors.

'Salaar' is one of the most anticipated films, starring Prabhas who enjoys pan India appeal. Paired with Shruti Haasan, the movie is being released pan India in 5 languages. The movie also has versatile actor Prithviraj Sukumaran, besides a superlative ensemble cast of Jagapathi Babu, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy and others in the key role.
