Fans are once again talking about the possibility of a teaser release for Salaar 2 on social media. People have had very high hopes for a sequel ever since Salaar became a huge hit. Rumours were circulating on social media that Salaar 2's teaser is likely to be released by the makers on the eve of Republic Day this year.

But the rumour that a teaser for Salaar 2 would come out the night before Republic Day turned out to be completely false. Though fans seem to have been excited about this news, reports confirm that it is just a rumour and not to be believed.

There is no official news about Salaar 2 right now. Prabhas and director Prashanth Neel are both very busy with their own projects, so there won't be a sequel anytime soon. The project has already been delayed by a few years, and there hasn't been any real progress yet.

In the next three years, Prabhas will be very busy as he is currently working on Fauji and Spirit, and the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD is also the works.

Prashanth Neel, on the other hand, is very involved in Dragon, which stars NTR, and is also talking to several big stars about his next projects. Sources close to the project say that Salaar 2 is unlikely to move forward, and some even say that it might be put on hold for good.

Prashanth Neel is also said to be interested in working on KGF: Chapter 3 after he finishes Dragon. Fans may have to wait a long time for Salaar 2 to come out, or they may have to accept that the sequel may never happen.

Prashanth Neel and the team of Dragon are said to be flying to Jordan in the next month to shoot some key portions of the film in the foreign country.
