‘Theatres mei aag lagega bhai’ – Fans react as popular digital media company confirms Yash’s cameo in upcoming film ‘Salaar’

Prabhas starrer ‘Salaar’ is expected to be very similar to Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) in terms of a movie type. The chances for the same were even heightened when a popular digital media company, RVCJ, confirmed in a tweet that KGF star Yash will have a five-minute cameo in the upcoming film. This is Prabhas’s first project with Prashanth Neel who gave birth to the popular character turned cult figure, Rocky Bhai personified by Yash. The upcoming film is expected to be very similar with the same type of screenplay and Prabhas playing the role of a towering protagonist with a bundle full of action and violence sequences.

Fans are of the view that having Yash and Prabhas together sharing the screen would lead to all box office records. The same is currently overtaken by Sunny Deol. Fans are speculating for an INR 1500 crore plus collection for the movie. If that does stand true, the upcoming September could be a record-breaking month at the box office. The movie is set to be released on September 28. At the same time, Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Jawan’ is also coming in the same month.

Salaar minted 2.5 crores in advance booking in the USA

However, Neel has spoken at length about the differences between KGF and Salaar. He says both are very different movies while KGF became famous due to the tale of gold mining and smuggling, Salaar will have a towering villain cast opposite Prabhas. The role is personified by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Shruti Haasan is the female co-lead opposite Prabhas. The movie has already started off with the advance booking in the USA and has minted INR 2.5 crores. “Salaar continues to mint in huge numbers at the USA box office. Crosses the $300K mark and 10K tickets milestone. Advance sales – $334,108 [ ₹2.75 crore]. Locations – 290. Shows – 848. Tickets – 11639…” Film analyst Manobala Vijayabalan tweeted.

The teaser for the movie went live in July and crossed 100 million views. “Overwhelmed with gratitude!
