Rajamouli's upcoming globe-trotting action film has been unveiled, featuring her in a mustard saree with a pistol, as the film's title is set to be revealed at a fan event in Hyderabad. The movie stars Mahesh Babu and marks Chopra's return to Indian cinema, following her recent international projects.
The trend of splitting big-budget films into multiple parts, popularized by SS Rajamouli's Baahubali series, is facing criticism as audiences express dissatisfaction with incomplete storylines in films like Pushpa 2. Fans argue that these films often lack satisfying conclusions, leaving viewers feeling that something is missing. This trend has led to a growing desire for films to offer complete stories in each installment, rather than forcing audiences to wait for sequels to resolve plotlines.
The team of "Salaar" has released a promotional interview hosted by SS Rajamouli, featuring director Prashanth Neel and actors Prabhas, Shruti Haasan, Prithviraj, Jagapathi Babu, Shriya Reddy, and Bobby Simha. In the interview promo, Neel expresses nervousness about the movie, while Rajamouli asks about the presence of drama in Salaar. The full video will be released on December 19th, and the film is set to release on December 22nd.

Ram Charan, who made his Bollywood debut with the 2013 remake of Zanjeer, revealed in an interview that even Amitabh Bachchan's son Abhishek didn't want to attempt the iconic role. However, Ram Charan said he was born to handle pressure and took on the challenge. The film also starred Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj, Atul Kulkarni, and Mahie Gill. Ram Charan has since become a global star with fans around the world, and is currently filming for his next movie RC 15 with director Shankar.
