A lot is said about Salaar as there are speculations on social media that the film is a rehash of Prashanth Neel’s Ugramm. A few even say that the film was shot in KGF sets, given the similarity in the tonal set-up of these two films.
However, the cinematographer of the film, Bhuvan Gowda has now finally clarified these speculations.
“In terms of scale and canvas, Salaar is 5X that of KGF. It has the biggest set work for any Indian film till date. We erected a private set in 100 acres at the Dandumailaram area for Salaar’s shoot. We extensively shot in Ramoji Film City as well. The comparison might have come because the viewers felt both the films had similar dark sets. But you can’t judge Salaar by the visuals in the trailer” Bhuvan said.
About the story, Bhuvan says Neel had envisioned something much much bigger than anything he had done till now. He says it was a challenge to bring the larger-than-life sequences to life in the film. He dispelled the rumors about Salaar’s story being similar to other films.
The film is set for release on the 22nd of this month and it it getting a big release.
