'Salaar Part 1 - Ceasefire,' starring Prabhas as an action protagonist, stands as one of the year's most eagerly awaited films, stirring immense anticipation among fans. Ahead of its highly anticipated debut, the film has obtained an 'A' certificate from the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Addressing this development, Vijay Kiragandur of Hombale Productions shared insights in a recent interview regarding the movie's 'A' certification.
In an interview with India Today, the producer Vijay Kiragandur was asked if he was satisfied with an ‘A’ certificate. He said, "We obviously wanted an ‘U/A’ because we want the family audience to come and watch the film. At the same time, we are now okay with an ‘A’ certificate. The rules have changed for the censor board and when they explained the reason behind it, we came to terms with it." He added, "It happened with ‘Animal’ as well. We met the censor officers, and they explained to us the new rules."

He further said, "They suggested a few cuts to get ‘U/A’, but director Prashanth decided against the cuts because those were the scenes which would add to the character building of a violent man. Those scenes are important."
Vijay also shared that the film has not received an 'A' certificate due to any vulgarity. "The action sequences are so intense, so we did not want to disturb the flow. We got an ‘A’ certificate only because of that. There is no vulgarity or anything in the film," he stated.
