As per the report, the final cut of the film is 3 hours and 20 minutes long, which is 200 minutes. Kalki 2898 AD (3 hours and 1 minute) is almost at par with Ranbir Kapoor starrer-Animal, which was released last year in December and had a runtime of 3 hours and 21 minutes.
Thus, after Animal, the Stylish Star's movie could emerge as the longest film of 2024. The film, which will debut on December 5, features Fahadh Faasil, Rashmika Mandanna, Dhanunjay, Rao Ramesh, Sunil, Anasuya Bharadwaj, and Ajay Ghosh in significant roles, apart from lead actor Allu Arjun.
