Telugu superstar Prabhas, who is currently committed to do a second film with Hombale Films, is set to extend his work relationship with the production house. The collaboration includes Salaar Part 2 and two additional back-to-back films thereafter, which represents the largest deal between an actor and a production house to date, marking a transformative chapter for both Prabhas and Hombale Films.
The banner has not set a timeline for these ventures, as Prabhas will return to the set of Salaar only after Prashanth completes his commitment on his film with Jr NTR. Salaar: Ceasefire was the upgraded remake of Prashanth’s directorial debut Ugramm. Four films, including the upcoming three projects, with Prabhas underlines the confidence both parties have in this collaboration.
Hombale Films’ big plans for the entertainment industry
In December 2022, during the success celebrations of Kantara, Hombale Films had announced its intention to invest a whopping Rs 3,000 crore in the entertainment industry over the next 5 years. The production house has Kantara: Chapter 1 in the making currently. Salaar Shouryanga Parvam is likely to be its next big venture. Considering that Salaar Ceasefire was reportedly made at a Rs 300 crore budget, 3 more films with Prabhas will take a sizeable bite out of their proposed investment plans.
Vijay Kiragandur, Founder of Hombale Films, commented on the collaboration, “We believe in the power of storytelling that transcends borders. Our collaboration with Prabhas is a step towards crafting timeless cinema that will inspire and entertain for generations to come.”
Prithviraj Sukumaran and Prabhas in Salaar – Part 1
Apart from Kantara Chapter 1 and Salaar Part 2, the production house is also looking at getting Rocking Star Yash back in the fold for KGF: Chapter 3 at some point. The banner had announced collaborations with Sudha Kongara and Prithviraj Sukumaran a while ago, but these are yet to go on floors.
