A recent report has revealed that the makers of 'Indian 2' have removed 20 minutes of footage from the film. The revised runtime, now, comes to two hours and forty minutes.
As reported by India Today, the makers of ‘Indian 2’ have decided to chop down the runtime of the film after the movie received negative reviews.

Following this edit, the new runtime is two hours and forty minutes. The trimmed version will be playing in theaters from July 14 onwards. However, the makers have not issued an official statement on this development as of now.
Starring Kamal Haasan, Siddharth, and Rakul Preet Singh in key roles, ‘Indian 2’ has been released in three languages –Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. The movie revolves around Senapathy – a freedom fighter turned vigilante – who takes it upon himself to remove the rot from society.

However, Haasan’s performance is considered to be the saving grace of this flick.
‘Indian 2’ will be followed by ‘Indian 3’ which is slated to release in 2025. The third part was initially a part of the sequel, but it had to be divided into two films because the total runtime came to six hours.
