Prabhas also took to Instagram and shared a picture of Haasan, writing, “Looking forward to working with you on #Salaar.” The film, which is being produced in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi simulatneously, would mark the first screen collaboration between Haasan and the “Baahubali” star.
