‘Prabhas’ starrer high-octane action thriller film ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ is all set to hit the silver screens this Christmas weekend. Helmed by the Dynamic ‘KGF’ fame director ‘Prashanth Neel’ the film is enjoying humongous hype and buzz at social media platforms because of the Telugu Star’s loyal fan base.
However, a segment of film critics and cinema trade analysts are still doubting the success potential of Salaar at the box office, since 3 high-budget big banner ventures starring Prabhas failed miserably in the movie markets including ‘Saaho’ (2019), ‘Radhe Shyam’ (2022) and ‘Adipurush’ (2023), that too in a consecutive pattern. ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ stands as the last Blockbuster in this actor’s kitty prior to his hattrick of deadly disasters.
Following The Successes Of ‘KGF Series’ Pranshanth Neel is now regarded amongst the top filmmakers of our country. Fetching Prabhas as the main lead in his upcoming hefty budget (Rs. 400 Crores) venture could be a ‘HIGH RISK’ call for Neel in correlation to Adipurush artist’s repetitive string of failures at the cinematic celluloid. Moreover, all load lands at Prabhas’s striving shoulders as Prashanth’s last ‘Yash’ starrer ‘KGF- 2’ grossed over ‘Rs.400 Crores’ in Hindi language itself.
Unluckily the Pan-India creation Salaar is in addition clashing with ‘Shah Rukh Khan’ & ‘Rajkumar Hirani’s’ first ever highly anticipated collaboration ‘Dunki’. While this SRK hattrick of 2023 will drop on ’21st of December’, Prabhas’s actioner will collide in its way on the very next day i.e. ‘December 22nd’. It’s apparently speculated by multiple film fanatics that ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ would end up getting a minimised screen count in mega multiplexes due to Saaho actor’s diminishing craze amongst the larger chunk of audiences; following his poor taste of script selection.
Will Prashant Neel’s KGF ‘Success Streak’ overshadow Prabhas’s ‘Juggling Jinx’ at the box office? Wait for a week and get all answers yourself !
