Prashanth Neel Confirms Salaar Is A Mix Of ‘Ugramm’s Story And KGF Style Of Making’

Fans finally get answers about Salaar’s story

Remember those rumors about Salaar being a remake of Prashanth Neel’s earlier movie Ugramm? Well, turns out they weren’t just whispers. After months of saying “nope, not a remake,” the director finally confessed – Salaar is indeed a retelling of Ugramm’s story!

Fans were worried from the start, seeing similarities between the two films’ plots. But the makers kept saying, “Don’t worry, it’s all original!” Even the producer, Vijay Kiragandur, shut down the rumors, saying Prashanth knows how to make something fresh every time.

So, why the sudden change of tune? Prashanth opened up to Cinema Express, explaining his vision. He admitted that Ugramm didn’t get the audience it deserved when it released. It got pirated quickly, and despite his KGF success, he couldn’t move forward without giving that story a proper chance.

But here’s the twist – Salaar isn’t just a straight-up remake. Prashanth calls it a mix of Ugramm’s story with KGF’s filmmaking magic. He wants Ugramm to reach new heights, just like KGF. He even says he’s made changes to fit the stars, Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

Some might think it’s just Ugramm’s story in KGF’s fancy clothes, but Prashanth sees it differently. He’s proud of both movies and takes any criticism as a compliment. After all, it’s his vision, his story, reborn and ready to shine!

So, there you have it. Salaar isn’t just a new movie, it’s a second chance for a beloved story, with a sprinkle of KGF’s larger-than-life style. Get ready for some familiar beats with a whole new punch, brought to you by the master storyteller himself, Prashanth Neel!
