Prashanth Neel’s Salaar: Cease Fire – Part 1, on day 6, minted ₹ 17 crore (throughout all languages), as per a Sacnilk report. The movie is on the verge of getting into the ₹ 300-crore membership on the field workplace. In complete, the action-drama has collected ₹ 297.40 crore on the home field workplace. While Prabhas‘ portrayal of Deva has garnered reward from movie fans, Sriya Reddy, who performed the position of Radha Rama Mannar in Salaar, can also be receiving accolades. FYI: Sriya made a comeback to Telugu cinema with Salaar. 

In a current interview with Hindustan Times, Sriya Reddy talked about how she and director Prashanth Neel mentioned her position. Expressing the director’s confidence in her character, Sriya Reddy said, “He (Prashanth Neel) promised me my role would stand out, and he’s a man of his word. There were a lot of phone calls, meetings, look tests… By the end of it all, we knew what Radha Rama Mannar was all about.”

In his review for NDTV, movie critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Salaar 2.5 stars and stated, “The first half of Salaar: Part 1 is devoted entirely to the story of the burly brooding and invincible Devaratha (Prabhas), his relationship with his mother (Easwari Rao) and his friendship with his pal from 25 years ago, Varadha Raja Mannar (Prithviraj Sukumaran), son of the second wife of the ruler of present-day Khansaar, Raja Mannar (Jagapathi Babu). Over about 90 minutes, the film sets the stage for Deva’s dramatic appearance in Khansaar, a 1000-year-old principality where a bloody battle of succession is on between the ruling Mannar tribe and the Shouraangya and Ghaniyaar tribes for the throne occupied by Varadha’s father.”

Salaar opened to theatres on December 22. The movie was launched in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Up subsequent, Prabhas has Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD alongside Deepika Padukone.
