In a recent interview, the filmmaker said, “Salaar Part One is a completely different world. The action in the film is massive and there are strong characters, but above all, it has an emotional story—the story of two friends and their journey into the world of the Khansaar. I wanted to make an action-packed drama film with a story driven by emotions and friendship. And Salaar has given me that opportunity. We wanted to create Khansaar of Salaar as one of the most violent worlds known to humans, but something that is strongly driven by emotions.”

He further said, “I firmly believe that motives are very important in the development of characters in a film like Salaar to make them connect with the audience. Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran have played the character amazingly where you can feel the emotions of two friends and their mutual on-screen bond. In the film, each action sequence comes with an emotion, and we have tried to offer a perfect blend of action and emotion that will appeal to a large section of the audience.”
