New Delhi: With the much-anticipated release of Prabhas’ latest venture “Salaar” on the horizon, director Prashanth Neel shared his perspective on the film’s adult certification during a discussion with renowned director SS Rajamouli. The conversation, which also included actors Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, delved into the narrative and certification of “Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire,” set to hit theaters on December 22.
Prashanth Neel addressed the A certificate issue, stating, “At the heart of ‘Salaar’ lies the story of Deva and Vardha. It’s a dramatic tale, and the action sequences are integral to the storytelling. I’m well-versed in Telugu cinema, and by comparison, the violence in ‘Salaar’ is not extreme. It wasn’t my intention to create a film so violent that it warranted an A rating. However, with recent changes in certification guidelines, the censor board requested edits. Their suggestion took me by surprise as my film is far from vulgar. Despite the initial disappointment, Prabhas reassured me that it’s all part of the process.”
The full interview offers more insights into the film and can be viewed below:
As “Salaar: Part One – Ceasefire” gears up for its theatrical debut, the excitement is palpable with a staggering 6,78,292 tickets already sold, amassing ₹14.88 crore for the opening day alone. In anticipation of the overwhelming demand, the Telangana government has taken the exceptional step of allowing Mythri Movie Distributors to not only increase ticket prices but also to conduct additional screenings. An official notice permits six shows starting at 4:00 am on December 22, 2023, in Telangana, with price hikes of ₹65 and ₹100 for single screens and multiplexes, respectively, effective until December 28, 2023.
Moreover, a special benefit show is scheduled in prominent Hyderabad theaters, commencing at 1:00 am on the release day. The fervor surrounding the film can be attributed to Prabhas’ immense popularity in Telangana and the blockbuster success of Prashanth Neel’s KGF series in the Telugu-speaking regions.
“Salaar: Part One – Ceasefire” is not just an action-packed film but also a narrative centered around friendship. Prithviraj Sukumaran, a Malayalam film superstar playing a key role, shared with PTI, “The prospect of joining ‘Salaar’ was initially unexpected. I didn’t imagine that a collaboration between Prashanth Neel and Prabhas would focus on a story about two friends. That’s the essence of ‘Salaar,’ and it’s a thrilling project.”
The film’s ensemble cast includes not only Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran but also Shruti Hassan, Jagapathi Babu, Bobby Simha, Tinnu Anand, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy, and Ramachandra Raju in significant roles.
