Sanju Weds Geetha 2 was meant to be a January 10 release in time for Sankranti, but had to be pushed ahead by a week, after the filmmakers ran into some legal hurdles. When the film, led by Srinagara Kitty and Rachita Ram, eventually made it to theatres on January 17, the response was far from positive, and only 3 days later, it was declared a disaster by box office trackers, after its theatrical run ended.

According to director Nagshekar, though, the film was voluntarily removed by the team, based on feedback from audiences that a better edit would help the flow of the narrative. He admits that amid all the tension of clearing the film’s release for January 17, that due justice may not have been done to the presentation, which Nagshekar is now looking to amend.

Sanju Weds Geetha 2 to get longer

Sanju Weds Geetha 2 will be back in theatres, and this time, with at least 20-minutes additional footage. The team will announce a new release date shortly and is confident that this new version will entertain audiences better.

The film, meanwhile, had Kitty as Sanju, a silk weaver, whose path crosses that of Geetha (Rachita), the only daughter of a silk exporter tycoon. Their socio-economic differences do not sit lightly with her father, who promptly cuts all ties with her. Sanju then vows to build his business to rival that of his estranged father-in-law, which he succeeds at.

However, over the course of the decade that it takes him to grow from rags to riches, Geetha falls terribly sick. Can Sanju get her the cure she needs before it is too late? This and more is at the heart of Sanju Weds Geetha 2, which, critics had panned. Given that the basic plot, which is as old as time, will remain the same, what good a new and longer version will do is anyone’s guess.
