Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire, starring Prabhas and Shruti Hassan, was scheduled for a September release. But the reports of it getting postponed started doing the rounds on the internet earlier this month. Now, Homable Films, the production company behind the film, has released an official statement announcing that the movie will not hit theatres on September 28.

The production house said in the statement that the delay in the release is only because they want to “meet the high standards” and deliver an “exceptional cinematic experience”.

Salaar, the pan-India action thriller directed by Prashanth Neel of KGF fame, has been in the making for almost two years. It was revealed in the first teaser of the film that there is a second part to Salaar because the upcoming film is titled Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire. Also, the makers said they released the teaser of the film at 5.12 am because that was the time when the boat of KGF’s protagonist Rocky bhai (Yash) drowned, hinting at a shared universe between the two films.
