The wait for *Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam* just got a whole lot more exciting. Director Prashanth Neel, the man behind the KGF universe, has confirmed that he will dive straight into the Prabhas-led sequel immediately after wrapping up his upcoming Jr NTR actioner, *Dragon*. For fans who’ve been anxiously waiting since the Salaar cliffhanger, this is the news you needed.

## What Prashanth Neel Said

In a conversation with Galatta Plus, Neel confirmed that *Salaar 2* production will kick off right after *Dragon* is completed. He also addressed the future of *KGF 3*, noting that no decision has been made yet on when he’ll return to that franchise.

Interestingly, Neel also revealed that *Dragon* will mark a shift away from his signature hyper-stylized mass-action style — hinting at a mythological film series with a more colorful visual palette, and even a small intimate drama project in the pipeline.
