Salaar: CBFC granting ‘Adults’ certificate to cut off a major chunk of Prabhas’ kid fans : Bollywood News

Prabhas’s eagerly awaited release Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire has suffered an unexpected setback. It has been given an ‘Adults’ certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), thereby cutting off a major chunk of Prabhas’ fans: the kids. According to multiple in-the-know sources, the film’s violence prompted the CBFC to certify Salaar as suitable for adults.

Significantly, Raj Kumar Hirani's Dunki, which will confront Salaar at the box office later this week has been granted a ‘UA’ certificate by the CBFC. This means that Shah Rukh automatically gets a bigger audience-spectrum than Prabhas.

The British Board of Film Classification has also granted Salaar an ‘18’ censor-rating commenting, “Fight scenes feature sustained and sometimes brutal violence with significant bloodshed.”

Salaar can take comfort in the blockbuster status of Sandeep Vanga Reddy’s Animal, which despite prolonged emotional and physical violence and an ‘A’ certificate, has won over the audiences the world over.

Interestingly, Salaar is Prabhas’ first ‘A’ rated film. The certification has added to the Telugu superstar’s worries. Would it be the hit it is expected to be?
