Earlier, there were rumours that the failure of Adipurush would have an impact on Prabhas’ upcoming film, Salaar. However, now it has been reported that the buzz around Salaar is still quite strong and Adipurush’s debacle has not affected the anticipation around it. According to reports, the film, directed by KGF’s Prashanth Neel, is getting some exciting offers for theatrical rights and is expected to do a pre-release business of more than Rs 500 crore. If the sources are believed, then Salaar will surpass the pre-release business of SS Rajamouli’s RRR. Apart from Prabhas, the film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu in prominent roles.

Apart from this, Prabhas will also be seen in Nag Ashwin’s Project K. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone in leading roles. According to reports, the film has already completed 80% of its shoot and is expected to release in 2024.
Meanwhile, Om Raut’s Adipurush faced a setback with ₹1.75 crore nett collection on second Monday, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk. Despite its reported production budget of approximately Rs 500 crore, the film has only managed to amass around Rs 277 crore in its all India total. With a projected lifetime collection of under Rs 150 crore in the Hindi market, Adipurush is deemed a box office flop.
