A quick glance through Thursday's list of Twitter trends would reflect Jurassic Park being mentioned repeatedly and just to be clear, it has nothing to do with the Hollywood franchise or a muddy stretch of land with dinosaurs. It so happened that a film's teaser released this morning, that introduced the protagonist's playground as a "Jurassic Park." The teaser is that of Prashanth Neel's Salaar that features Prabhas in the lead role. The film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan and Tinu Anand. In the teaser, Tinu Anand talks about a land with "Lion, tiger, cheetah, elephant" that is "very dangerous but not in Jurassic Park, because in that park, there is a..." And with that Prabhas' character is introduced. Some loved the Jurassic Park monologue in the film, others, not so much.
Before we move on to the tweets, check out the teaser of Salaar here:

A mixed take - "Jurassic Park dialogue was hilarious, rest of the teaser reminded me KGF. Teaser could've been better," inputs from another user.
