Vivek Shows No Compromise Again! 170 Min Runtime For 'SS' Fixed!

The biggest complaint common audience had on 'Ante Sundaraniki' was the runtime. The movie was 3 hours long and people did not expect a love entertainer to have such a big runtime. Natural Star Nani stressed during the promotions of 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' that Vivek Athreya did not make the same mistake regarding the screenplay this time. But it looks like the talented young director is in no mood to compromise on the movie's length.

The movie's runtime time is locked and it is 2 hours and 50 minutes long. Taking away the beginning and ending titles, the movie's duration is 2 hours and 46 minutes. It is quite a big runtime in current times but people are ready to sit through a big cinema if it manages to keep you hooked. Not many films are crossing the 2 hours 40 minutes mark these days and there are people who even complain about the pace despite the short runtime for some films.

This is Vivek Athreya's first attempt at action genre and the promotional content looks highly promising. People are expecting quality content from the Nani and Vivek Athreya duo. SJ Suryah's presence is going to be a huge asset as well. Priyanka Arul Mohan is the heroine and Nani is actively promoting the film in all languages. They are going to release a promotional song soon too. With all its advantages, big runtime is still a problem and it all depends on the director's storytelling ability to engage the viewers in the theatre.

Let us see if 'Saripodhaa Sanivaaram' team succeeds in doing that on 29th August or not. The pre-release event is going to happen in Hyderabad on Saturday.
