Salaar : Biggest opening on cards for Prabhas after Baahubali

Prabhas’ highly anticipated action saga Salaar will have a humongous release in overseas locations. As the film has been carrying mammoth expectations due to the heady combination of Prabhas and KGF director Prashanth Neel, trade circles are expecting a thunderous start in all territories. The overseas openings, in particular, are going to be mind-blowing because of the hype and hysteria among moviegoers.

In North America, Salaar is going to unspool in a record number of locations on September 27th. To offer an unprecedented cinematic experience, the makers of Salaar are planning to release it in IMAX and other immersive formats in the majority of the locations. This is another reason why the film is likely to shatter numerous existing records with its openings.

After Baahubali 2, Prabhas disappointed with Saaho, Radheshyam and Adipurush. All three films fell short of trade expectations. They failed to cross the $ 1 million mark with their premieres. Now, Salaar is likely to take a much better opening than these films. Going by the craze in the audience, Salaar is likely to have a record-breaking start in North America and other overseas locations. It will target a massive haul in the first weekend.

Moreover, the advance bookings will commence one month before the film’s release on August 25th. This is a good strategy by Prathyangira Cinemas. The distribution house is aggressively marketing the film well ahead of its release. The theatrical trailer is expected to be out in the first week of September and it is likely to augment the hype further.

Salaar stars Shruthi Haasan and Prithviraj Sukumaran in significant roles. Hombale Films is bankrolling the film on a staggering budget.
