Actor Prabhas has joined hands with filmmaker Prashanth Neel for his next pan-Indian project, Salaar, it was announced on Wednesday. The project will mark the maiden collaboration between Prabhas and Prashanth, who is best known for helming KGF Chapter 1 (2018).

Prashanth took to Twitter to make the announcement. Tipped to be an action saga, the film features Prabhas in a character called Salaar.

“For the love of cinema, breaking the fence of languages, presenting to you an Indian film. Dearest welcome to darling Prabhas sir (sic),” Prashanth wrote.

Salaar, which will be dubbed and released in Hindi, will be presented by Anil Thadani.

The project is expected to go on the floors after Prashanth wraps up KGF Chapter 2, which stars Yash.

Meanwhile, Prabhas is currently busy wrapping up upcoming Telugu period romantic drama Radhe Shyam (2021). The film, directed by Radha Krishna Kumar, sees the actor play a palm reader while Pooja Hegde essays the role of a music teacher.

Radhe Shyam, which will be dubbed and released in Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam, marks the maiden collaboration of Prabhas and Hegde.

The project went on the floors in January. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, the team successfully wrapped up the Georgian schedule in March and returned to India safely. “One more schedule done! I thank the Georgian team for helping us finish a kick-ass schedule! Lovely people you are (sic),” Radha Krishna had tweeted.

Prabhas hopes to wrap up this project by December and commence work on an upcoming multilingual science-fiction film with director Nag Ashwin early next year.

Prabhas has the magnum opus Adipurush (2022) with director Om Raut in the pipeline. This project also stars Saif Ali Khan as the antagonist.
