Prithviraj Sukumaran Opens Up On His Role And Reveals Reasons To Do Prabhas-Fronted 'Salaar'

Bengaluru, October 16 - On the day of Prithviraj Sukumaran's 40th birthday (October 16), Hombale Films unveiled the first look poster of his character and officially announced the actor onboard Salaar, fronted by Prabhas. ## Prithviraj Sukumaran was approached for "Salaar" in early 2021, but things didn't work out as he was busy with Jordan and Algeria shoots for Blessy's pandemic-delayed epic survival thriller "Aadu Jeevitham". However, luck was with him as the "Salaar" shoot was delayed due to the covid and the makers finally managed to get his dates before he officially came on board. ## The "Ayyappanum Koshiyum" actor, however, was always interested in this Prashanth Neel's directorial and there are multiple reasons for him to say yes to this high-octane action thriller film. During an interview with Variety, the actor revealed what made to sign the movie. ## "There are multiple reasons why 'Salaar' would be a no-brainer for anybody to say yes to – it's a Prashanth Neel film, a Hombale Films production and it is Prabhas' film. It is Prabhas' return to mainstream mass commercial cinema after a while. His films post 'Saaho' have been slightly away from the mass action genre", he said.## Prabhas plays the title role in the movie, and according to Prithviraj, most part of the film revolves around Prabhas and his own character, named Vardharaja Mannaar. With this, he has also confirmed his full-fledged role, contrary to the reports of an extended cameo. ## "I deem it a privilege that somebody like Prashanth Neel, post 'K.G.F: Chapter 2' thought it was worth waiting for me to be able to join the film. And I'm glad I made that decision to finally say yes to it, because having shot for a few days, I think it might just be one of those epic cinematic experiences. So, I'm really looking forward to the film as much as an actor, as I'm as a film lover", the actor added.## "Salaar", which also stars Shruti Haasan and Jagapthi Babu in prominent roles, is scheduled to release on September 28, 2023, in multiple languages.## Stay tuned...

Kantara Becomes Non-KGF Kannada Industry Hit

Bengaluru, October 16 - After becoming a rare 100 crore grosser at the worldwide box office, the latest Kannada sensation Kantara is now behind only Yash-fronted KGF film franchise to emerge as the Non-KGF Kannada industry hit. ## The Rishab Shetty-starrer has scored approx. 115 crores so far in 16 days, making it the third highest-grossing Kannada movie of all time, after "KGF: Chapter 2", and "KGF: Chapter 1". The adventure action thriller film has overtaken Rakshit Shetty's "777 Charlie" (approx. 103 crores) to become a new non-KGF industry hit.## Interestingly, four out of the top 5 highest-grossing Kannada films of all time have released in 2022 as only KGF-1 was released in 2018. Kichcha Sudeepa's "Vikrant Rona" is the fifth biggest movie in the list with approx. 100 crores worldwide. ## Hombale Films has been churning out some critically acclaimed films that are equally successful at the box office. In a proud moment for the studio, the top three biggest Kannada movies belong to Hombale, headed by Vijay Kirgandur, and this is just the beginning (will bring a report on Hombale's potential blockbuster movies from its announced line-up). ## "Kantara", which is written and directed by Rishab Shetty himself, has an outside chance to beat "KGF: Chapter 1" which grossed approx. 238 crores in its lifetime run. However, the movie will need to show a similar trend for the next couple of weeks and will also need to see through Diwali releases, especially for non-Kannada languages.## Stay tuned...
