The Prashanth Neel-directed action spectacle “Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire” has secured an ‘A’ certificate from India’s censor board ahead of its highly anticipated December 22 release.
The film starring pan-India star Prabhas underwent CBFC review and passed the certification process with the advisory rating and a 2-hour 55-minute run-time.
The rare ‘A’ category signals the movie contains heightened action violence and is meant for adult viewing — a testament to the large-scale visual ambition of Neel’s filmmaking and Prabhas’ on-screen machismo.
Lead actress Shruti Haasan and villain Prithviraj Sukumaran took to social media to share their excitement about completing final dubbing in multiple languages, spanning Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam versions.
Produced by Hombale Films on a mammoth budget, “Salaar” generated buzz with its high-octane trailer promising relentless action extravaganza.
Neel, renowned for the “KGF” franchise, teams up with Prabhas following the latter’s pan-Indian success with the “Baahubali” films to deliver a theatrical event for the ages.
The rare A rating sets the stage for the action genre’s biggest face-off: Neel’s dynamic filmmaking versus Prabhas’ screen machismo, with audiences guaranteed adrenaline-pumping entertainment.
