Salaar unfolds in two parts, with the first instalment titled Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire and the sequel named Shouryaanga Parvam. The film was released in multiple languages on December 22, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.

Set against the backdrop of the lawless Khansaar world, the film narrates the tale of two childhood friends, Deva (Prabhas) and Varadha (Prithviraj). Deva pledges unwavering support to Varadha throughout their lives, but the transformation of their unbreakable bond into a bitter enmity forms the crux of the sequel.

Salaar’s rapid success and soaring numbers showcase Prabhas’s stronghold at the box office, making it one of the most talked-about releases in recent times.
