The eagerly awaited movie 'Sankranthi Vasthunam' has finally made its way to OTT platforms, but with a twist. The film, which was initially released in theaters with a runtime of 2 hours and 24 minutes, has been reduced to 2 hours and 16 minutes on OTT. This has come as a surprise to fans, who were expecting the same version of the film that they saw in theaters. Instead, it appears that the makers have cut nearly 8 minutes of footage from the film.
Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment and confusion over the reduced runtime. Some have speculated that the makers may have removed certain scenes or plot points that were present in the theatrical version. Others have wondered why the makers would choose to cut footage from the film, rather than adding additional scenes or content. The decision to reduce the runtime of the film has left many fans feeling puzzled and unsatisfied.
The makers of Sankranthiki Vasthunam have been acting differently from the beginning, with promotions and marketing strategies that have been unconventional and attention-grabbing. The decision to reduce the runtime of the film is just the latest example of this unconventional approach. While some fans may appreciate the changes, others may feel that the film has been altered in ways that affect its overall impact and coherence.
Sankranthiki Vasthunam was directed by Anil Ravipudi and starred Meenakshi Chowdhury and Aishwarya Rajesh as the heroines. The film was produced by Dil Raju under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations and grossed over Rs. 300 crores worldwide. The film was also telecasted on ZEE Telugu at the same time it was released on OTT.
