Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran has fuelled speculation about a possible Salaar-K.G.F. crossover, saying his character Shiv Mannar from Prashanth Neel-helmed Salaar: Part 1 — Ceasefire has a connection with another cinematic universe created by the director.

The revelation was made on Tuesday when a fan expressed his admiration for Shiva Mannar on X, prompting a reply from the actor. “How cool Shiv Mannar would have been to single handedly do what he did.. #PrithvirajSukumaran #Salaar I really wish I could see a bit more of him,” the fan wrote, to which Prithviraj replied, “Of all the stories Prashanth has told me..Shiv Mannar’s is probably the coolest. Has an unbelievable crossover with another universe as well.”

Headlined by Prabhas, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire hit theaters on December 22, 2023, amassing a staggering Rs 617 crore gross at the global box office. While Prabhas portrayed Devaratha, Prithviraj essayed the dual roles of Vardha Raja and Shiva Mannar in the action-packed saga.

Prior to the first part's release, fans had speculated about a potential crossover of the film with the Yash-led K.G.F. franchise. Although the film didn’t hint at such a crossover, Prithviraj’s reply has reignited the fan theories once again.

Meanwhile, Shafi, who played Thiru in Salaar: Part 1, has confirmed that the sequel Salaar: Part 2 — Shouryanga Parvam, is set to go on floors soon. Sharing a poster of the film on Instagram, the actor recently wrote, “Get ready for the unfolding cinematic saga as the shoot for Salaar 2 begins soon.”
