Prashanth Neel Rubbishes The Comparisons Of Salaar With Ugramm
In an exclusive Pinkvilla interview with Himesh Mankad, Prashanth Neel broke his silence on the comparisons between Salaar and Ugramm and clarified that the comparisons makes no sense. He said, "I told the whole story of Ugramm in 2 hours and 14 minutes. I am making a 6 hour movie (Salaar Part 1 plus Salaar Part 2). I am not going to take Ugramm and put it here. The basic idea; I wanted that emotion for the people to see it on the big screen. That's the only reason I had to do Ugramm. I have many other subjects that I have already narrated and people have liked, but I always wanted to stay with something like this. If that is a negative, that will be a very small section."
