Damage Control in the works for 'Tiger Nageswara Rao'

HYDERABAD: "Tiger Nageswara Rao," starring Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja, initially generated interest among the audience due to its unique concept based on the life of thief Nageswara Rao of Stuwartpuram. However, upon its release, it faced a reversal in its reception. Many viewers were disappointed with the film, prompting the film's team to take action.

Initially, it was announced that the film would run 3 hours, 1 minute, and 39 seconds. This lengthy runtime raised concerns among the audience, but it seems that the film struggled with pacing issues, particularly in the second half.

Within a day of release, the filmmakers recognized the problem with the movie's length and decided to cut and remove approximately 24 minutes of scenes. The official announcement was that the film would be shortened to a runtime of 2 hours and 37 minutes.

Despite these adjustments, the initial reviews of the film were quite poor. It remains to be seen whether the changes in the film's length will significantly impact its overall reception. Many viewers who have watched the film have expressed that the editing should have been done earlier to improve the pacing and storytelling.
