Salaar’s New Date and the Apology Question?

Prabhas’ Salaar has once again announced a new release date, December 22, 2023, causing a stir in the film industry. This decision has disrupted the release plans of several Tier-2 and Tier-3 movies in Telugu, including Nani’s Hi Nanna, Venkatesh’s Saindhav, and Nithin’s Extra.

Some people within the industry and distribution circles are demanding an apology from the Salaar team for the inconvenience caused to these filmmakers. However, opinions in this issue are divided. Many argue that if a film has compelling content and the power to engage the audience, it will succeed regardless of its release date.

Recently, Salaar had an empty release date on September 28th, which was utilized by a couple of other films produced by renowned filmmakers. These performed well at the box office, suggesting that Salaar doesn’t owe an apology to anyone.

The general public seems to share this sentiment, believing that the success of a film depends on its quality rather than its release date. So, while there is a demand for an apology from the Salaar team within the industry, the audience is less concerned about it, as they trust in the strength of good content to thrive whenever a film is released.
