Recently, while promoting the film, Prashanth Neel revealed how the idea of Salaar originated in his mind. He said, “The idea of making Saalar had come to my mind 15 years ago, but after making my first film Ugram, I got busy with KGF which took me almost 8 years to make. That is, we first started planning KGF and by the time its second part was released 8 years had passed. In this way, the idea of making this film was already in my mind and during Covid, when KGF 2 was not released, we all had a lot of time because we were all sitting at home. So I worked on it a little.”
The trailer takes us to the fictional city of Khansaar, which is invaded and described as “more dangerous than Mahmud of Ghazni and Genghis Khan.” Prithviraj Sukumaran’s character is the heir apparent of the city, but only till the invaders attack and take charge forcefully.

We also got ton see glimpses of Shruti Haasan and Jagapathi Babu among others in the trailer.
