"Vidudhala Part 2," directed by Kollywood filmmaker Vetri Maaran and starring Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role, is set to release globally in Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Hindi on December 20. The team is currently busy with promotions, and there has been an interesting discussion circulating online.

The sequel has a runtime of 2 hours and 52 minutes (172 minutes), which is just 2 minutes longer than the first part. When it comes to the Telugu version, the runtime became a major topic of conversation upon release, with its slow narration dividing audiences into two groups. Despite having a strong storyline, the Telugu audience had a mixed response. Now, as the sequel follows the same pattern, it has sparked curiosity about how the Telugu audience will receive it.

Trade pundits believe that while Vetri Maaran’s team is known for impressing with storytelling, the lengthy runtime could pose another challenge. The question now is whether the content will be engaging enough for audiences to overlook the runtime, and whether the sequel will prove successful.
