Viral video sparks debate over alleged copying of Prabhas’ Salaar

A viral video featuring a rugged character in a dark, gritty setting has sparked online debate regarding whether a Pakistani film copied scenes from the Indian movie ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’.

While social media users have claimed the footage is from an official Pakistani production, there is no evidence to support this. Instead, the clip appears to be a social media recreation or spoof. The video has been linked to Pakistani content creator Haseeb Bilal, who is known for recreating moments from popular South Indian films.

Although Bilal has not explicitly confirmed the video is a ‘Salaar’ recreation, the visual style, slow-motion action, and character styling bear a strong resemblance to Prabhas’ character, Deva. Additionally, there is no confirmed evidence that the footage was created using artificial intelligence; it appears to involve a live-action setup with real performers and props.
