The longest Indian movie ever to premiere on an OTT platform was Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna.
The film, with a runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes, was released on OTT with the same duration as its theatrical release.
However, Pushpa 2: The Rule is set to break this record. It will become the longest Indian film to debut on Netflix, as the streaming platform has decided to showcase the director's cut.
Originally, director Sukumar's cut had a runtime of 3 hours and 44 minutes. However, for its theatrical release, the film was trimmed to 3 hours and 21 minutes.
To attract a wider audience, including those who have already watched it in theaters, Netflix will stream the full 3-hour-and-44-minute version.
Thus, Allu Arjun's film is creating a new record in the OTT space as well.
