Hombale Productions ‘Salaar’ is just days away from releasing and the team led by director Prashanth Neel is on a marathon run to studios for promotion works of the movie. The first part of Salaar tells the story of the relationship between an underworld leader named Varadaraja Mannar and his best friend Deva. Prithviraj plays the role of Varadaraja Mannar in the film. Prabhas is Deva.

However in a recent interview as part of the promotion, actor Prithviraj opened up about how he nearly gave a ‘NO’ to Salaar, when the director first met him with the proposal.

“When I heard the gist of the movie, inside my mind, the answer was NO. I was about to refuse the role when the director gave me the description of the movie. It blew me away. For many, the movie might portray the friendship between two, but I took the description to a certain different level and that was mesmerizing” Prithviraj said.

The movie is too much drama. I like to compare ‘Salaar’ to web series exemplary ‘Game of Thrones’: Prithviraj added.

The much-awaited film will hit the theatres on December 22. The trailer of Salaar starring Prabhas has already gone viral on YouTube. The film will come in two parts. 'Salaar' is being brought to theatres in Kerala by Prithviraj Productions and Magic Frames.
