'Salute' features Nayantara in a glamorous role and has reportedly performed in a steamy manner with Vishal in a song sequence. Ever since the movie's stills were published in the press there has been a lot of talk of the 'onscreen closeness' of the lead pair. Many even started wondering if Nayantara was forced to step on the glamour element.

Nayantara plays a daring television journalist in the film and her relationship with a top cop adds on the fuel to her investigation as well as the police department's hunt for the baddies.

The film is slated for release on August 15 as 'Sathyam' in Tamil and 'Salute' in Telugu. What started as a four-Crore budget went on to a whopping cost of 23 Crores. About 600 prints are being made available for the release.

Vishal starrer ‘Sathyam’ is expected for a release this August.

The movie being directed by Rajasekhar, a one-time associate of director Suresh Krissna, features Vishal in the role of a cop for the first time.

Nayantara joins hands with Vishal while Kannada actor Upendra play a prominent role in the film.

'Harris Jayaraj's songs are scintillating, the stunts are superb, Vishal looks great, the story is new and you have Nayantara.'
