The official trailer for Salaar has been unveiled, marking Prabhas' return as the beloved Rebel Star among fans. The narrative follows Deva (played by Prabhas) and Varadha (portrayed by Prithviraj Sukumaran), close friends in a tale revolving around the fabled city of Khansaar, reminiscent of the setup in KGF. Within this city, a fierce power struggle ensues among three leaders vying to dominate the entire territory.

As Varadha faces aggression from those close to him, he seeks aid from his trusted confidant, Deva. The teaser introduces Deva as a character more intense and formidable than any other within this violent milieu.

Alternatively, contrasting opinions abound regarding the lingering influence of KGF chapter 2. Many perceive an unmistakable resemblance in the portrayal of an enigmatic city, the intricate dynamics of power, and the overall thematic essence, all seemingly intertwined with the fabric of the KGF series. Notably, echoes of Saaho resonate in the climax, prompting suggestions that this cinematic experience might bear a semblance to Prashanth Neel's Ugramm, albeit modified. Various reactions highlight this divergence of perspectives.
