Tubelight Cut By 14 Minutes

Original plans of preserving the  playing-time of 2 hours and 35 minutes for Kabir Khan’s Tubelight have now been dropped.

The film has been pruned down to 2 hours 16 minutes after the entire post-production was done.

Says a well-informed source, “Kabir Khan’s films are habitually lengthier than the stipulated 2 hours that the multiplex viewing audience favours. Kabir’s last film with Salman Khan Bajrangi Bhaijaan was nearly 3  hours long, and it worked just fine. Tubelight was edited and readied at a playing-time of 2 hours and 35 minutes. But then for some reason  they’ve now decided to prune down the film by 14 more minutes  just a week before release.”

This makes Tubelight Salman’s shortest film in recent times. His last release Sultan was 2 hours 50 minutes long.Bajrangi Bhaijaan before that was 2 hours  43 minutes, and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo  prior to that was just over 3 hours long.
