Aranya has tested the patience of the audience with its long duration of about more than two and half hours. But the shocking news is that it was actually a solid three hour film.

Understanding the situation, about 30 minutes were chopped off much before the release.

This decision was taken by Rana and Suresh Babu collectively after watching the first cut.

In the process several scenes of Vishnu Vishal were scissored. That's the reason why the film appeared half baked in Vishnu Vishal's track.

Rana has spent a lot of time on this repair work, taking a break from the shooting of his Ayyappayum Kozhiyum remake.

Suresh Babu attempted to show the film two days before the release to some close groups in the film industry. But those audiences also have walked out silently implying their negative feedback.

Nobody posted anything positive about the film even on social media.
