Prabhas and Prashanth Neel teamed up for Salaar and the film's sequel was announced even before the release of Salaar. Telugu360 reported that plans for a sequel have been shelved. But on Prabhas's birthday, some of the biggest trade analysts and media houses announced that Salaar 2 is launching on the occasion of Prabhas's birthday. His fans are surprised as the production house has not made any official announcement. The real news is that the shooting of Salaar 2 never started and Prabhas did not join the sets of the film. His focus is on Maruti's Raja Saab and Hanu Raghavapudi's Fauji.
But the biggest surprise is who is behind the PR stunt of Salaar 2. Prashanth Neel is completely focused on NTR's film and has no time for any project at the moment. NTR's film has also been made on a big budget and its production will last for a year. Soon after the completion of NTR's film, Prashanth Neel will shift his focus towards KGF: Chapter 3. Yash will also complete Toxic and Ramayan before joining the sets of KGF: Chapter 3. As of now, Salaar 2 is not on the cards.
