However, in recent years, audiences’ attention spans have become shorter, making three-hour movies less acceptable. Multiplexes also tend to get more attention for short films, which impacts the business for feature films.
Sandeep Reddy Vanga has challenged this trend with his recent release ‘Animal’. Despite being an A-rated film and with a running time of 3 hours and 21 minutes, Animal was a huge success and broke the short film conventions that dominated the industry. Vanga’s achievements sparked a resurgence of feature films in Bollywood.
The new film ‘Fighter’ starring Hrithik Roshan is scheduled to release in the next few weeks. According to reports, the movie’s running time is expected to be 3 hours and 10 minutes.
Directed by Siddharth Anand after the success of ‘War’ and ‘Pasaan’, ‘Fighter’ features a star-studded cast including Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. His upcoming January 25th release to coincide with Republic Day, Fighter is set to be one of his first major releases of the year with a runtime of over three hours.
So Sandeep Reddy Vanga sets a trend and soon Bollywood starts following it.
