Cobra running time trimmed by 20 minutes
Vikram’s latest Tamil release Cobra has been trimmed by 20 minutes a day after its release, makers announced on Thursday via a statement.
After being criticised by critics and audiences alike over the film’s bloated runtime of 3 hour and 3 mins, the makers took this decision.
The new version will play across all theatres in south India from Thursday evening. Cobra released globally on Wednesday, August 31.
The film stars Vikram in dual roles. He plays a genius mathematician/assassin and a hacker. A tweet from the film’s makers 7 Screen Studio read: “We Heard You. #Cobra is now Trimmed by 20 Mins as suggested by film-goers, fans, media friends, distributors & exhibitors. Will be updated from this evening in all the screens. Do watch & support the film (sic).”
Cobra also stars Srinidhi Shetty and former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan, who is playing an Interpol agent in the film.
