The premiere of “Salaar-Part One: Ceasefire,” directed by Prashanth Neel and featuring Prabhas, has garnered immense anticipation and is expected to be a blockbuster. The film has already surpassed the $1 million mark in its USA premiere, amassing a total of $1.12 million from over 430 locations. This achievement highlights the film’s potential to set a new record for Indian film premieres in the USA.
Furthermore, the film has sold nearly 39,000 tickets, indicating a strong demand from the audience. With four more days remaining until the premiere, “Salaar” has the potential to achieve remarkable numbers for an Indian film in the USA. In comparison, Shah Rukh Khan’s film “Dunki” has sold tickets worth $206,877 from 445 locations, with 15,000 tickets sold.
For both Prabhas and Prashanth Neel, “Salaar” holds great significance. It marks a crucial point in Prabhas’ career as he strives to maintain consistent box office success following the conclusion of the Baahubali franchise. Despite strong opening numbers, sustaining momentum has proven challenging. On the other hand, for Neel, the film carries immense importance after the massive success of the KGF franchise. Speculation even suggests the possibility of a shared universe between these two cinematic worlds. To further build anticipation, the makers will release a trailer for the film on Monday.
Apart from Prabhas, “Salaar” also features Prithivraj, Shruti Haasan, Tinnu Anand, Jagapathi Babu, Easwari Rao, and Sriya Reddy.
