On Thursday, the creators of Salaar dropped the movie's first song, Sooreede. This Telugu track revolves around the theme of friendship and features animated sketches of the main actors mixed with cinematic shots.

In a sweet moment, a maternal figure is seen feeding the young boys. Another part of the video shows the kids happily getting on a horse-drawn carriage). At the end of the video, Prabhas is seen calming a worried Prithviraj. Sooreede is sung by Harini Ivaturi with music by Ravi Basrur and lyrics written by Krishna Kanth (KK).
Before that, we got a thrilling sneak peek at Salaar through its action-packed trailer. In the three-minute video, we saw the strong friendship between two friends. Deva (Prabhas) promised steadfast support and compared himself to either a "shark" or a "bait" according to the demand of the situation. The story took us to the kingdom of Khansaar, where contenders vie for the throne amid challenges from all quarters. Prabhas stole the show as a one-man army, showcasing jaw-dropping action scenes in his unique style. The trailer wrapped up with a powerful line from Prabhas, "Please, I request," followed by more intense action. Fans also got a quick glimpse of Shruti Haasan.
