Rana Daggubati Starrer Haathi Mere Saathi Doomed By Its Length? Hindi Version To Be Cut By 30 Mins- EXCLUSIVE
After Rana Daggubati's Haathi Nere Saathi's recent debacle at the box-office, it is being said that the Hindi version of the same will be cut short by 30 mins.
Rana Daggubati’s dream project Haathi Mere Saathi in three languages has run into heavy weather, and not just because of the COVID situation. It seems the decision to release the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film (titled Kaadan in Tamil, Aranya in Telugu) before the Hindi version, has spelt doom for the project.
The Tamil and Telugu versions of Haathi Mere Saathi, released on March 26, have flopped miserably. And the main factor going against the project was its inordinate length. With a running time of 150 minutes, no one had the patience to sit through the long film during these times of a pandemic.
Apparently, there were huge arguments over the film’s length between the director and producer. A very angry member of the cast spills the beans, “Our director Prabhu Solomon had a good idea in mind. We all loved doing the film as it shows how Man mis-uses Nature. But the final film turned out to be more than three hours long. We convinced him to cut it by half an hour. But no more.”
We now hear the Hindi version will be released with a further cut of 30 minutes bringing it down to a reasonable 2 hours of playing time. One thing is for sure. The days of self-indulgent filmmakers are over.
