Yash will not be in Salaar

Vijay was asked by India Today if Rocky Bhai will feature in a crossover with Prabhas and Prithviraj’s characters Deva and Varadha. The producer replied, “I think Prashanth has clarified already that there is no link (between KGF and Salaar). There's no cameo in the movie (by Yash). So that is not true.”

Rumours intensified

While it’s true that Prashanth did clarify in interviews that there will be no crossover between KGF and Salaar, singer Theertha Subhash recently left fans confused. While giving an interview in Kerala post winning a show, she stated that she’s excited for ‘Yash uncle’s cameo' in Salaar. However, Theertha and her parents later released a statement on Instagram, writing, “I have seen KGF many times. My father mentioned to me that the team of Salaar was the same ones, who made KGF. So, I assumed that Yash uncle will also be in Salaar.”

Salaar isn’t Ugramm remake

Producer Vijay was recently also forced to clarify that Salaar was not a remake of Prashanth’s film Ugramm after rumours suggested otherwise. He had told Bollywood Hungama, “Prashanth made both Ugramm and KGF. He’s aware of how to make something different each time around. So, there’s no truth to the rumours of Salaar being a remake.”

About Salaar
