Salaar marks the first onscreen collaboration between Prabhas and Shruti Haasan.

Actor Shruti Haasan is set to star in KGF director Prashanth Neel’s underworld action thriller Salaar, the makers announced on Thursday.

Billed as a “pan-India” project, the film will feature Haasan opposite South star Prabhas, who will be seen playing a “violent character”.

The official Twitter account of production house Hombale Films made the announcement on Haasan’s 35th birthday.
