Karnataka DyCM Dr CN Ashwathnarayan who took part in the event wished the team all success. "Producer Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films which has given blockbuster movies like KGF series is producing the 'Salaar' movie. This has raised expectations about this new movie. With Salaar, Kannada Cinema will be crossing all the borders and reach all Indian audiences and with this, Baahubali star Prabhas will be further close to Kannada audience and will be welcomed by all", he said.

"I became a fan of Prabhas's performance in Baahubali, the moment I watched the movie. Now I have a chance to make films with him. I am very happy with this. We will be producing the film for Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi simultaneously. The film is being directed by Prashant Neel, who has directed our film 'KGF', ”said Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Films.

Salaar will be bankrolled by Hombale Films and is said to be along the lines of Prashanth's directorial debut Ugramm (2014) which revolved around a hero who fights against the thugs for a social cause.
