In an exciting turn of events, the highly anticipated film “Salaar” is set to make its OTT debut on Netflix with a groundbreaking digital rights deal of Rs 162 crore for all five languages. While fans eagerly await the release, the official date remains shrouded in mystery. Speculation hints at a potential January launch, perhaps aligning with the festive spirit of Sankranthi on January 12. However, neither the filmmakers nor Netflix have officially confirmed this exciting news.
The customary industry rule dictates that a movie can hit OTT platforms only 45 days post its theatrical release. Yet, if the film continues to perform well in cinemas, digital platforms must patiently wait until its theatrical run concludes.
This historic digital deal comes on the heels of “Salaar’s” theatrical triumph since its release on December 22. Directed by the acclaimed Prashanth Neel, “Salaar: Ceasefire – Part 1” boasts a stellar cast featuring Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Bobby Simha, Tinnu Anand, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy, and more.
Although speculation surrounds a potential January Netflix release, fans are also buzzing about the film’s television premiere on Star Maa. The box office numbers tell a compelling tale, with an impressive Rs 90 crore domestic premiere day collection and a global total reaching Rs 178 crore.
With a reported budget of Rs 270 crore, “Salaar” has emerged as a box-office powerhouse, amassing a staggering Rs 391 crore to date domestically. Currently, it proudly holds the 8th position among the highest-grossing Indian films of the year. The epic action film delves into the intricate dynamics between two friends turned foes, solidifying Prashanth Neel’s standing in the industry and reinforcing Prabhas’ reputation as a reliable star.
As the saga of “Salaar” continues to unfold, fans can’t wait to witness its streaming debut on Netflix and the grand television premiere on Star Maa, marking yet another milestone in the cinematic journey of this blockbuster hit.
