The new release date of Prabhas’ much-awaited movie ‘Salaar’ has finally been announced and it is set to clash at the box office with Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dunki’.
Sharing a new poster of the film, featuring Prabhas, Hombale Films announced that ‘Salaar’ will hit theatres on December 22.
In the poster, Prabhas can be seen in a rugged look, holding a sword in his hand.
‘Salaar’ was initially supposed to release on September 28 and was scheduled to clash at the box office with Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Vaccine War’. The film was pushed to December due to its pending post-production work.
Directed by Prashanth Neel, ‘Salaar’ also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Meenakshi Chaudhary. The film is produced by Hombale Films, the team behind KGF and Kantara.
‘Dunki’ marks Shah Rukh’s third release of the year. The Rajkumar Hirani directorial also stars Taapsee Pannu in the lead role.
At a recent event, SRK confirmed that ‘Dunki’ is not getting pushed to next year and clarified that it is on track to release on Christmas.
‘I think, Mashallah, God’s been very kind. We had Pathaan. God’s been even kinder with Jawan. I always tell we started with Republic Day (January 26). It’s an auspicious day. On Janmashtami, we released Jawan. On Christmas, we will bring Dunki for you. I prioritize national integration. And whenever my film releases, it has to be Eid. I’m working hard. I’m working harder than what I worked in last 29 years. And Inshallah, I will work hard. I get happy now when people watch movies and they derive happiness out of them,’ he said during the success meet of ‘Jawan’.
