Sankranthiki Vasthunam shocks OTT audiences
After a blockbuster run in theaters, fans were eagerly excited for its release on streaming platforms. Soon after the film dropped on both TV and OTT yesterday, fans were surprised to find that the movie is shorter on streaming and about 8 minutes were cut from the original version. The theatrical release was 2 hours and 24 minutes long, but the streaming version is only 2 hours and 16 minutes.
Fans were expecting the OTT version to include some extra funny scenes that were cut from the theater version for pacing. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. On the bright side, the TV version made fans happy by playing the song Godari Gattu Paina twice to keep the audience entertained and was an out-of-box surprise.
Written and directed by Anil Ravipudi and bankrolled by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations, Sankranthiki Vasthunam was cinematographed by Sameer Reddy and edited by Tammiraju. This Bheems Ceciroleo musical also featured Aishwarya Rajesh, Sarvadaman D. Banerjee, Srinivasa Reddy, P. Sai Kumar, Upendra Limaye, Naresh, VTV Ganesh and Srinivas Avasarala among others.
