Meanwhile, as for its gross mark worldwide, ‘Salaar’ crossed Rs 500 crore mark on Thursday. It has now become the seventh film of the year to join the Rs 500 crore club, post the release of ‘Pathaan’, ‘Jawan’, ‘Jailer’, ‘Leo’, ‘Gadar 2’ and ‘Animal’. The film had made Rs 175 crore globally on the first day itself, which means it raked in a total of Rs 325 crore through the rest of the week.

To say the least, the film also marks a huge comeback for its lead actor Prabhas, who has not had a big hit since 2017’s ‘Baahubali 2’ despite starring in big-budget projects like ‘Saaho’, ‘Radhe Shyam’ and ‘Adipurush’. Prabhas would next feature in ‘Kalki 2898’ AD, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and others.

Directed by Prashanth Neel, ‘Salaar’ also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Sriya Reddy, Shruti Haasan and Tinnu Anand in key roles. The film’s second part, which is titled ‘Salaar Part 2 Shouryanga Parvam,’ is yet to come up with a release date. Prashanth Neel previously helmed the Yash-starrer ‘KGF’ films, which collectively made nearly Rs 1500 crore in India.
