Prashanth shares update on Salaar 2

Prashanth Neel told Galatta Plus that he will begin Salaar 2 immediately after finishing his work on Dragon. While talking about KGF 3, he shared that he hasn't decided yet whether he will return to the franchise.

Neel stated that Dragon is a shift from the genre he has dabbled in before. Reportedly, he has been working on a mythological film with a colourful visual palette. He also wishes to make a small and intimate film.

It also starred Jagapathi Babu, Shruti Haasan, Sriya Reddy, Bobby Simha, Easwari Rao and John Vijay, among others, in significant roles.
