Reacting to fans fearing about Salaar being a remake film, producer Vijay Kiragandur brushed it off as rumours.

However, in a latest interview, dropped hints saying that Salaar is an adaptation of his debut film Ugramm. He was quoted as saying, “I envisioned Ugraam opening to packed theatres, but that was not to be. The film holds a special place in my heart and I wanted it to be as grand a success as KGF has been. I won’t say it is a remake though.”

He went on to add that Salaar is a mix of Ugramm’s story with KGF’s filmmaking! “I have made enough changes to suit the images of both Prabhas and Prithviraj,” he said.
