Prashanth Neel, the mastermind behind KGF, disclosed that he had written Salaar even before beginning work on KGF before it was released.Prashanth stated that Salaar is a two-part story, but KGF was not, in an interview with Pinkvilla. The plot is so extensive that it could fill a full six hours of film.

Actually, I had already written Salaar when I didn’t even begin working on KGF.
Film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Salaar 2.5 stars and wrote, “The first half of Salaar: Part 1 is devoted entirely to the story of the burly brooding and invincible Devaratha (Prabhas), his relationship with his mother (Easwari Rao) and his friendship with his pal from 25 years ago, Varadha Raja Mannar (Prithviraj Sukumaran), son of the second wife of the ruler of present-day Khansaar, Raja Mannar (Jagapathi Babu). Over about 90 minutes, the film sets the stage for Deva’s dramatic appearance in Khansaar, a 1000-year-old principality where a bloody battle of succession is on between the ruling Mannar tribe and the Shouraangya and Ghaniyaar tribes for the throne occupied by Varadha’s father.”
Prabhas’ Salaar clashed with Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki at the box office. The Rajkumari Hirani directorial released a day before Salaar.
