The sequel has been in limbo for a while. In May, Neel confirmed that Salaar 2 would be his next film after Dragon. This put to rest rumours that he had shelved the sequel after describing Dragon as his last film in the dark, hyper-stylised action genre. Dragon is slated for release on June 11, 2027.
A special day and a special reunion ♥️ Wishing our one and only Violent Man, #Prabhas a spectacular birthday! We can’t wait to see this DINO-mite duo back in action… #Salaar2 https://t.co/SiUY3R34RQ

Salaar 2 Delayed, but Not Shelved
Delays on both sides explain the wait. Dragon has taken longer than planned, and Neel cannot move on until it wraps. Prabhas, meanwhile, has a packed slate. Fauzi, Spirit and Kalki 2 are all in progress, and Spirit now has a revised release date of October 29, 2027. With both the director and the actor busy, Salaar 2 has continued to be pushed back.
Prabhas’s Line-up Is Tight
Prabhas’s birthday brought other updates too. The Kalki 2898 AD team shared a 32-second behind-the-scenes video from the sequel. It opens with the words “Bhairava is back” and shows Prabhas arriving on set in his character’s armour. Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan have also returned to the sets. About 90% of the shoot remains to be completed.
Meanwhile, the Fauzi team released a new poster. It shows a golden coin featuring Prabhas in a military uniform, surrounded by flames. Fauzi is scheduled to release in theatres in March 2027.
