Makers of Salaar Part 1 – Ceasefire reportedly employed Dark Centric Theme (DCT) technology to shoot the film, making it the first Indian film to do so. As a result the film’s lighting pattern and color palette would be darker in color.
The film received an A (adults only) certification from the Central Board of Film Certification on account of intense action sequences and violence. The makers expected a U/A (parental guidance) classification but were unwilling to make cuts, and since the board had updated their rules, the makers accepted the adult classification.

Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire was released worldwide on 22 December 2023 in standard and IMAX format. Along with Telugu, the film will also be released in dubbed versions of Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.
