The excitement surrounding Prabhas action-packed film Salaar has reached new heights as the movie gears up for its highly anticipated re-release.

Massive Advance Booking Response
Advance bookings for Salaar (re-release) opened at 11 AM IST on Thursday, and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal. Hyderabad and Vizag have witnessed a ticketing frenzy, with several shows selling out almost instantly.
📌 Key Booking Highlights:

✔️ Covering just 65 shows so far

From Theatrical Run to OTT Success
Despite grossing over ₹600 crore globally during its initial theatrical release in December 2023, Salaar was considered a moderate success due to its high production costs. However, the film received immense appreciation on OTT platforms, drawing a larger audience and reigniting interest in its storyline and action sequences.
The re-release aims to capitalize on this renewed fan enthusiasm, and with the current ticket sales momentum, Salaar could shatter re-release records.
Box Office Expectations: Can Salaar Break Records?
Currently, the highest day-one collection for a re-release in India is held by Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh, which earned ₹5.75 crore net on its first day. If Salaar continues its rapid ticket sales pace, it has a strong chance of surpassing this benchmark.
With Prashanth Neel directorial brilliance and Prabhas star power, Salaar grand re-release is poised to be a historic event for Indian cinema.
