Prabhas’ highly anticipated movie Salaar Part One: Ceasefire has reportedly been postponed. The film was initially slated for a theatrical release worldwide on September 28, 2023 and a special teaser of the film was unveiled by the makers a few months ago to add fuel to the anticipation. According to reports, the delay in post production in Salaar has led to the film’s postponement for a few months. The delay in release will also impact the advance ticket sales of the film and refunds for the $400k worth tickets will be issued soon.

Reportedly, director Prashanth Neel along with the makers of Salaar are aiming to release the film in December 2023 or January 2024.

Interestingly, Sankranti holiday has already been booked by Prabhas’ Kalki 2898 AD. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan and is directed by Nag Ashwin.
