Speaking about the impending Hindi release the directed stated that the Bollywood version has been trimmed to a run time of two hours and 52 minutes. The trimmed edit is also out in all other languages since last Friday. The decision comes in the wake of the feedback received from the audiences.

Accordingly, eight out of 10 who watched the film said they enjoyed the film, but stressed about the length, which they mentioned it lies in the second half. This was a judgment we couldn’t make before the film’s release. We expected people to enjoy it, but the audience felt it was a lag. Based on their opinions, we have trimmed the film.”
