Prashanth Neel Disappointed by "Salaar"'s 'A' Certificate

Renowned Kannada director Prashanth Neel has expressed disappointment over the recent 'A' certificate awarded to his upcoming action thriller, 'Salaar'.

The film, starring Prabhas and Shruti Haasan, has been generating immense buzz due to its high-octane action sequences and Neel's signature style.

Neel stated, "I was very disappointed when I received the 'A' certificate for 'Salaar'.

I know that I have not made a vulgar movie or a movie that is insensible with violence.

It is all necessary violence that is integral to the narrative and the character arcs."

He emphasized that the violence is not gratuitous or exploitative, but rather serves a purpose within the story.

Neel's disappointment stems from the potential impact the 'A' certificate could have on the film's box office performance.

In India, 'A' certified films are restricted to viewers aged 18 and above, which can limit the audience reach.

This is particularly concerning for a film like 'Salaar', which is expected to attract a large fan base, including families.

He believes that the audience will appreciate the nuanced portrayal of violence and understand its role within the story.

He also expressed confidence in the film's ability to connect with viewers on an emotional level.

Prashanth Neel's bold vision and commitment to storytelling promise to make 'Salaar' a cinematic experience worth watching, regardless of the age restriction.
