Has Prashanth Neel confirmed Prithviraj Sukumaran's role in Salaar in his latest tweet?

The inclusion of Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran in Salaar has been a national issue for quite some time. Although the actor has stated in previous interviews that he is playing a crucial role in the film, an official confirmation regarding the same remains pending to date, thus making things a little dicey for all the fans.

Prithviraj, in a recent press meet, attributed the same to scheduling conflicts and shared that he is in discussions with Prashanth Neel and Co. to figure things out.

However, it would seem that team Salaar has inadvertently confirmed that Prithviraj Sukumaran, quite indeed, will be part of the film as an actor. In the recent tweet to announce the release date, both Hombale Films and Prashanth Neel would tag the Malayalam actor along with the rest of the cast and crew of the film, only to suggest that the Kaduva actor will play a big role in the pan-India fixture.

Prithviraj has spoken of loving the story of Salaar and that he was always keen on being a part of the project as an actor. Alongside, he has also forged a strong relationship with Hombale Films over the past couple of years and even served as the distributor of K.G.F: Chapter 2 in Kerala: Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale is also producing Prithviraj's upcoming directorial Tyson. 

In the same vein, fans have been incredibly curious to know the role that the Malayalam actor would be essaying in Salaar. Many reports have claimed in the past that he would be seen as the antagonist but with Jagapathi Babu already roped in the fit that bill, it would be interesting to see what the makers have in store with respect to Prithviraj Sukumaran.

As far as the release of Salaar is concerned, the Prabhas starrer will be out worldwide on September 28, 2023, to set up a mouthwatering box office clash with the Hrithik Roshan - Deepika Padukone film Fighter. 

Although Salaar comes as a Telugu - Kannada bilingual, the film will be surely mounted as a bona fide pan-India film, thanks to the recent thumping success of K.G.F: Chapter 2 (also directed by Prashanth Neel and produced by Hombale Films).
