3-hour Final Cut for Veera Simha Reddy?

Veera Simha Reddy, featuring Balakrishna is up for release on the 12th of January. Here’s an interesting report on the run time for the final copy of the film.

All the while, there have been reports that the final copy has been locked at 160 minutes. But the latest updates are suggesting that the final copy actually has a runtime of 197 minutes.

This is a super lengthy run time. The makers are now focused on trimming down the 2 hours 57 minutes final copy and bring it to around the 2 hours 30 minutes mark. A sizeable chunk from the copy will be chopped off.
