We had previously reported that Hombale Films, who produced KGF will be teaming up once again with the film’s director Prashanth Neel. It’s now known that the film is titled Salaar and will star Prabhas in the lead. The first look was released earlier today and it features Prabhas with a thick moustache wielding a machine gun.
A statement from the film’s producer, Vijay Kiragandur said, “After the success of our first pan-Indian film, KGF: Chapter 1, and on the verge of completing our second pan-Indian film, KGF: Chapter 2, we at Hombale Films are proud to announce our third Indian film Salaar.
