The music for the film is composed by Ravi Basrur, and the cinematography is skillfully handled by Bhuvan Gowda. Mark your calendars for December 22, 2023, as the film is set for a worldwide theatrical release. Notably, it will go head to head with “Dunki,” starring SRK, which is scheduled for release one day prior.

The filming of “Salaar” had its share of ups and downs. The shoot began on January 29, 2021, in the coal mines near Godavarikhani, Telangana. The first schedule wrapped up in February 2021. The second schedule commenced in August 2021 in Hyderabad, with approximately 30% of the shoot completed by March 2022. However, production was temporarily halted due to the release of Prabhas’ “Radhe Shyam” (2022) and Neel’s “K.G.F: Chapter 2” (2022). Plans were in place to resume shooting in May.

Unfortunately, Prabhas sustained a knee fracture in March while on vacation in Spain, causing further delays. In June 2022, a new shooting schedule got underway at Hyderabad’s Ramoji Film City, with Prabhas and Haasan rejoining the sets. During this phase, the team undertook a breathtaking 20-minute action sequence in the middle of the sea, spending about ₹10 crore on the scene.

Now, as the release date draws nearer, fans can’t wait to witness the much-anticipated “Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire” on the big screen. With its star-studded cast and the anticipation it has generated, it’s poised to make a significant impact when it finally hits theaters on December 22, 2023.
