On Shruti Haasan's 35th birthday, production house Hombale Films announced that the actor will be starring opposite Prabhas in the film Salaar.
“We’re ecstatic to have you onboard for #Salaar. Can’t wait to see you sizzle on the screen (sic),” tweeted Hombale Films tweeted on Thursday, 28 January.
Prabhas also took to social media to wish his co-star. "Happiest Birthday @shrutzhaasan ! Looking forward to working with you on #Salaar", he wrote.
Billed as an action drama, Salaar is written and directed by Prashanth Neel, who shot to fame after the Kannada crime drama KGF: Chapter 1.
Prabhas had earlier said in a statement, "The character I play in Salaar is very violent and it's something I have never done before. I am looking forward to shooting the movie".
