Reportedly, the director of the film has raised the standards of his film after KGF Chapter 2. If reports are to be believed then, Salaar's budget has gone up.

A few days back, there were reports that the film is undergoing a few changes. Neel reportedly reworked two action sequences as he wanted them to be grand and wanted to stun audiences by showing never-seen-before style. After Yash's KGF Chapter 2 turned out to be a more huge blockbuster hit than expected, Neel wants Prabhas and Shruti Haasan's action film to go the next level.

As reported by Track Tollywood, Hombale Films has extended the budget of Salaar, but the makers of the film are happy with it. Producer Vijay Kirgandur said that Neel and Prabhas are going to deliver a huge hit for their fans. “We set the bar very high for Salaar. We have Prabhas, India’s No. 1 film Baahubali Hero along with No.2 film KGF director Prashanth Neel,” Vijay shared.

The film's budget was said to be Rs. 200 crores, but it has been hiked by Rs. 40 crores.

There were reports that Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran will also be a part of the film, and Prabhas had hinted about it in one of his interactions. While talking about it, Vijay said, "We have not officially announced the development but yes, Prabhas did speak about him. We are talking to Prithviraj and mostly, he will be a part of our film."
