Celebrations filled the digital air as filmmaker Prashant Neel marked another trip around the sun on Tuesday, June 4. Social media platforms brimmed with heartfelt birthday wishes pouring in from fans and colleagues, with one notable mention coming from South Indian megastar Prabhas. Taking to his Instagram Story, Prabhas shared a candid moment captured on the sets of an anticipated film, likely the sequel to Salaar.

The snapshot featured Prabhas and Neel, radiating camaraderie, hinting at the deep bond forged during their collaboration on Salaar: Part One, a blockbuster hit in December 2023. Prabhas accompanied the image with a concise yet warm message, “Love you sir! Have a fantastic birthday!” followed by a beaming emoji.

Amidst swirling rumors about the fate of Salaar 2, murmurs of creative disagreements between Prabhas and Prashant surfaced. However, the makers of Salaar swiftly quashed these speculations by sharing a nostalgic throwback from the initial film’s production days. Directed by Neel, Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryanga Parvam was slated to commence filming in the summer of 2024, though no recent updates have surfaced.

Insiders from the industry hint at the delay attributing it to Neel’s dedication to his current project with Jr NTR, where he diligently refines the script. Once this endeavor concludes, Neel is poised to refocus on Salaar 2, reuniting with Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Excitement brews among fans as the trio eagerly anticipates their cinematic reunion, promising another blockbuster extravaganza.
