# Salaar 2 pre-production begins after Dragon delay 2026-08-13T20:02:02+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Director Prashanth Neel has begun pre-production on 'Salaar 2: Shouryaanga Parvam', the sequel to his 2023 hit 'Salaar: Part 1, Ceasefire'. Neel and Hombale Films producer Vijay Kiragandur recently met to lock the screenplay and plan the production schedule, according to media reports. The sequel is being planned on a larger scale than the first film. The move comes after Jr NTR's shoulder injury caused a delay in the shooting of Neel's other project 'Dragon', reported Cinema Express. The sequel was earlier rumoured to be shelved, but the makers released a behind-the-scenes image in January to dismiss the speculation. Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan and others are expected to reprise their roles. The first film ended with the revelation that Prabhas' character Deva is the rightful heir to the Shouryaanga clan. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - cinemaexpress.com Tags: film sequel, Prabhas, Prashanth Neel, Salaar 2, Tollywood Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/salaar-2-pre-production-begins-prabhas-and-neel-team-up/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
