John Abraham Being Considered To Play The Antagonist In Prabhas Starrer Salaar: Reports

Prabhas starrer Salaar with filmmaker Prashanth Neel has been in the making for some time now. While the film has already gone on floors, reports are now doing the rounds that the project might see a Bollywood hunk playing the baddie who will face off the Babhubali star in the action thriller.

There are several reports on the internet hinting that John Abraham might be roped in for Salaar to play the antagonist opposite Prabhas’ protagonist in the project. While there are no confirmations on the news yet from the makers, the Mumbai Saga actor’s presence will certainly widen the appeal of this pan-Indian project.

John is already confirmed to play the villain is Shah Rukh Khan’s highly anticipated Pathan. The actor had before the lockdown in Mumbai even begun shooting for his portions in the film. The actor who has previously played the bad guy in Dhoom, early on in his career makes for a fitting choice given his popularity in the action genre but we’d wait for an official confirmation before getting too excited.

So far, Salaar makers have only confirmed that Shruti Hassan will play the leading lady in the project. Prabhas was earlier in the year seen shooting for the film in Godavarikhani town in Telangana.

Apart from Salaar, Prabhas also has Om Raut’s Adipurush to begin work on. The actor will also be seen in a Nag Ashwin film with Deepika Padukone next year. Apart from these films under production, the actor awaits the release for Radhe Shyam this year which is a romantic drama also starring Pooja Hegde.
