Salaar Part One: Ceasefire, featuring Prabhas in the titular role, is one of the biggest hits of the actor's career and of Indian cinema in 2023. Prabhas has been garnering all the love and applause for his performance in the actioner. The director of the film, Prashanth Neel, in a recent talk with a media portal, revealed the real inspiration behind his lead character, who is quite similar to an angry young man.
In an interview with Pinkvilla, the filmmaker opened about drawing inspiration from Big B for Salaar. ''Yes, I drew inspiration from that era for sure, but I also tend to write in a way where my hero has to be my biggest villain. I always make that a rule and then start writing. So probably that is how it reflects. At the time being, both the movies (KGF and Salaar), both the characters they have similarities that they turn out to be the biggest villains. They have to look like it at least,'' he said.
