According to star Prithviraj Sukumaran, Salaar, a new epic action movie from India, will have world-building scope akin to that of Game of Thrones.
The star of an upcoming Indian action film called Salaar says that the world building will be similar to that of Game of Thrones. Prashanth Neel is the director of Salaar, which features a star-studded cast that includes Bobby Simha, Jagapathi Babu, Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Shruti Haasan. Action-thriller fans describe the movie as following a gang leader who has to battle other criminal groups to keep a promise he made to his dying friends.
Speaking with News 18, Sukumaran compared Salaar to a world-building achievement akin to that of Game of Thrones. When Sukumaran steps “on the sets of Salaar,” he says he “literally feels dwarfed by it.” Because it is a drama with strong “character dynamics” and “a lot of action,” he thinks that “the world of Salaar is a bit like Game of Thrones.” See the actor’s complete statement below:
What To Expect From Salaar
The action-thriller story of Salaar will be told over a whopping two hours and fifty-five minutes. The movie is the first installment of a currently planned two-part series, the second of which Neel will also direct. On December 21, Salaar will have a limited release in the US. Neel also directed the popular Tollywood duology K.G.F: Chapters 1 and 2, as Sukumaran notes in his quote.
Salaar is a production from Tollywood that speaks Telugu mostly. Tollywood films have been more popular recently, despite the fact that their prominence is frequently overshadowed by Bollywood films with greater budgets. The most recent example of this was the huge success of the Tollywood musical RRR, which debuted last year and became so well-known that it was nominated for (and ultimately won) Best Original Song at the Oscars.
The film Salaar has an epic scope, as evidenced by the trailer. The story revolves around warring tribes that date back thousands of years, and the kin continue to fight in gangs years later. India has given the movie an A-rating, which is the same as a R in the United States and indicates that the film has probably a lot of blood and gore.
