Salaar has received an A certificate. "We obviously wanted a 'U/A' because we want the family audience to come and watch the film," director Prashanth Neel said of the rating. At the same time, we are now content with a 'A' grade. The censor board's guidelines have altered, and we accepted it once they explained why."

While speaking with SS Rajamouli, he voiced his displeasure with the certification.“This story is all about Deva and Vardha, Salaar is a drama at its core,” the director said, adding, “I’ve seen Telugu cinema for years now and the violence in my film is pale compared to that. The idea was never to make a film so violent it gets an A. But the guidelines have changed and the censor board asked me to make certain cuts. I got so quiet when they said that because I didn’t make a vulgar movie. The violence in the film is needed. I was disappointed, but Prabhas told me it’s okay.”
